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.

I highly recommend this place for all travelers. It’s a very cozy home and it’s close to the bus stop which makes it very easy to get around the city. If I’m ever back in Chicago I will definitely be coming back.

It's awesome that Ryan has opened his house to Airbnb. It's an old building but this doesn't mean it's in disrepair or dirty. It's has the right amount of preservation, it's clean and it's very livable. And if the timber stairs look a bit worn out, it's a feature to appreciate and enjoy. Amenities like kitchen and bathrooms are modern and well equipped. Ryan has laso communicated his expectations very well. I highly recommend this place.

I had a great stay at Ryan's property. The location was convenient for travel into downtown Chicago and it was a unique experience staying in a building with so much history. I would happily stay again next time I am in Chicago.

I stayed here for two weeks and had a fantastic experience. The street parking was easy, and the flexible check-in/check-out times were incredibly helpful. Having full access to the kitchen and laundry made the stay very convenient—it honestly felt like a home away from home. Ryan was an excellent host; he was highly responsive and went out of his way to ensure everything was smooth, especially during the week of the snowstorm. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again!

Everything at the house was as described! Shared spaces were clean and I felt safe as lone traveler. Neighborhood felt safe as well. Ryan was very communicative and I had all the information I needed for my stay. Enjoyed learning about the history of the house as well. Value was also solid for the established pricing!
