Remodeled Chicago Apartment < 9 Mi to Downtown
Guest rating: 4.4 / 5
Overview
This fully remodeled vacation rental apartment sits in a residential pocket of South Chicago, less than 9 miles from downtown. Spanning multiple floors with several living areas, it's registered with the city (Chicago Registration Number R23000108800) and operated as a whole-home rental rather than a traditional hotel.
Rooms & Layout
The apartment sleeps a large group across 4 bedrooms, each with a full bed, plus a full sleeper sofa in the living room, and includes 2 bathrooms. An open-concept floor plan connects multiple living spaces and a dining table, with Smart TVs for movie nights, making it easy for families or groups to spread out across separate floors.
Kitchen & Amenities
The fully equipped kitchen includes a fridge, oven/stove, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, and cooking basics, dishware, and flatware, so guests can prepare full meals in-house. Additional comforts include free Wi-Fi, a washer and dryer, central heating and air conditioning, an iron and board, ceiling fans, and keyless entry, with the whole unit maintained as smoke-free.
Location & Surroundings
The apartment is close to several bus stations, including 79th Street & Eberhart just 101 meters away, and is about 0.7 miles from Rapid Transit and near I-94 and I-95 for driving. Nearby dining options within a short walk or drive include Josephine's Southern Cooking, Turkey Chop Gourmet Grill, Riqo's Place, and Just Jerk Cafe's, while Chicago attractions such as the Museum of Science and Industry, Guaranteed Rate Field, and downtown neighborhoods like the Magnificent Mile and Millennium Park are within a roughly 4-11 mile drive.
Practical Notes
Free street parking is available, though guests should note the property requires stairs to access. A long-term tenant occupies a separate unit with its own entrance on the property, and two outward-facing exterior security cameras (covering the door/walkway and backyard/shed) are in place for safety.
Best for
This property is best suited for families or groups of friends traveling together, given its 4 bedrooms, multiple living areas, and full kitchen that allow for both togetherness and privacy. It also suits travelers who prefer a home-base with cooking facilities and laundry over a traditional hotel room, especially those wanting proximity to Rapid Transit for exploring downtown Chicago and nearby soul food and Jamaican restaurants.
Travel tips
Plan to use the nearby bus stations, such as 79th Street & Eberhart just steps away, or the Rapid Transit line about 0.7 miles off to reach downtown Chicago, which is roughly 9-10 miles away. Since parking is street-based only, arriving with some flexibility for finding a spot is wise, and the property's stairs mean guests should be prepared to carry luggage up on arrival. If a car is available, I-94 and I-95 offer quick access to attractions like the Museum of Science and Industry and Guaranteed Rate Field.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the apartment's spaciousness, noting the multi-floor layout allowed adults and children to have separate areas, and many highlight the immaculate cleanliness and appealing decor. The fully stocked kitchen, including dishes, cookware, and a coffee maker, is frequently mentioned as a practical plus for family stays. Reviewers also single out responsive, helpful hosts who provided local recommendations, and describe the surrounding residential neighborhood as friendly with restaurants and a general store within walking distance. A minor recurring note is that parking is on the street rather than a dedicated lot, though guests generally found spots available.
