Accessibility

Neighborhood

East Garfield Park is an area that is still majority minority, filled with houses on the block that have been rehabilitated, next to boarded up ones. That said, don't expect high district level amenities such as a Starbucks on the corner, think more gas station coffee instead.

Guest Access

The entire home except remaining private rooms are available. This includes the kitchen, dining room, billiards room, parlor, laundry room, and of course common bathrooms.

Good to know

The space is in an old victorian era (c.1895) limestone/brick mansion located on Chicago's west side in the East Garfield Park neighborhood. It overlooks Washington Blvd. and is about a block from the Kedzie Green Line Train. Please note if you book, this is an old house, with over 125 years of living. This means lumps, bumps, scratches, and things in general that are less then perfect. Most people enjoy this character of a house, and it's why they book. I allow LUGGAGE DROP OFF! You can store your luggage in the closet before check-in and after check-out times, you can drop it off and pick it up as early and as late as you would like. Public transit options (train, bus, bike share) available about a block away.

Other Details to Note

I mention this in the neighborhood section of my listing as well, but it's worth repeating here. Please do your research and know where you are booking. I've lived here for over 7 years and never had a concern for my own safety or that of the thousands of my guests. Also, please note that I don't have keyed locks on interior doors of the home. If this is a problem for you, please don't book. I trust you, the guest, with my single most valuable asset and all of my personal belongings. I have never been given a reason to doubt that trust in this community, but if you plan on breaking that trust, please don't book.

This is a safe and inexpensive place to stay in Chicago. Ryan is very communicative and house rules are easy to understand. I enjoyed staying here and I’ll likely book again when I return to Chicago. I love old houses and history so that was an added bonus!

Ryan was a great host! He always got back to me very fast whenever I had a question. I stayed in his Egyptian Room which was a cozy space in the basement with Egyptian decor. The home itself is absolutely beautiful and had many unique qualities. Very different to the average Airbnbs I’ve stayed at. All in all, a pleasant experience and would book here again!

Alles in allem ein guter Aufenthalt. Es hat an nichts gefehlt. Die Anweisungen von Ryan sind so ausführlich, dass wirklich nichts unbeantwortet bleibt. Ich würde dort jederzeit wieder übernachten.

Beautiful home, easy access to busses and two different L train lines. Nice green space at the end of the road and a convenience store on the corner. I would definitely stay again.

Former Chicago resident here—Ryan’s place was so nice I stayed here twice and had great experiences both times as a solo traveler. The neighborhood is peaceful, close to the Green line CTA stop, and the house is an amazing place-clean, multiple bathrooms, nice kitchen, terrific value and often presents opportunities to chat with other guests. My room and bed were quite comfortable. The mini fridge came in handy and I really appreciated having coffee available for mornings when I didn’t have time to stop by Dark Matter, Intelligentsia, or The Worm Hole. I look forward to staying again next year!
