Luxury Home Away From Your Home
Guest rating: 4.5 / 5
Overview
Luxury Home Away From Your Home is a recently rehabbed house in South Chicago, remodeled just a year ago, offering a full-home rental experience rather than standard hotel rooms. It sleeps up to eight guests across three bedrooms, making it well suited to groups and multi-generational family trips. The property is smoke-free and designed to feel like a genuine home base rather than a transient stay.
Rooms & Layout
All three bedrooms are located upstairs, featuring one king bed and two full beds plus a pull-out couch for additional sleeping space. The home includes two full bathrooms, so groups don't have to compete for a single shower. Air conditioning, heating, and cable TV are provided throughout for comfort during any season.
Kitchen & Amenities
The home is equipped with a full kitchen including an oven, stove, and microwave, plus an ironing board, letting guests cook meals and manage laundry needs without leaving the property. Free Wi-Fi and free parking are included, which reviewers specifically called out as convenient. These self-catering features make the property especially practical for extended stays or families managing multiple schedules.
Location & Surroundings
The house sits close to public transit, with Harrison & Central Park bus station just 100m away and Congress & Central Park bus station 196m away, plus the Kedzie-Homan Blue Line stop roughly 493m away for quick access into downtown Chicago. Food options nearby include Soulé and The Soul Food Lounge for soul food, BABA'S FAMOUS STEAK & LEMONADE, Paradise Food, Wileys Chicken & Ribs for barbecue, Jus Chick-Hen Inc, and Seafood Fish & Chicken Crib. Chicago Midway International Airport is about 10km away, while O'Hare is roughly 20km away, and the United Center is about a 5-minute drive with downtown Chicago around 15 minutes away.
Best for
This property is best suited to families and small groups traveling together, given its three-bedroom, two-bathroom layout that sleeps eight and its full kitchen for self-catering. It also appeals to United Center event-goers and downtown visitors thanks to its short 5-minute and 15-minute drive times respectively, plus easy walking access to Blue Line and bus stops for those who prefer not to drive downtown.
Travel tips
Guests can walk about 10 minutes to the Kedzie-Homan Blue Line station for a direct ride into downtown Chicago, and bus stops at Harrison & Central Park and Congress & Central Park are just steps from the door. Since free parking is available on-site, driving to nearby restaurants like BABA'S FAMOUS STEAK & LEMONADE or Wileys Chicken & Ribs is also an easy option. Plan for roughly a 10km trip to Midway or a 20km trip to O'Hare when arranging airport transportation.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the cleanliness of the house and describe the host as exceptional and welcoming. The kitchen area is frequently highlighted as a favorite feature, and the free parking is noted as a practical convenience, though one reviewer described it only as adequate rather than exceptional. Reviewers also appreciated the property's proximity to the city and its walkability to the Blue Line train, along with security touches like a locked outer gate and enclosed parking that added to a sense of safety.
