Feelin’ Nauti • 1BR + Parking Near Wrigley

STOP SCROLLING. You’ve found the nautical one. A high-contrast, design-forward 1BR in Ravenswood that pairs Norwegian maritime banners with clean lines and genuinely comfortable bedding. Great light, soft sheets...(and a host who refuses to let you stay somewhere that feels like a half-furnished college rental). The space A quick note: this reservation is for the first floor of a two-level duplex. You’ll have the entire main level to yourself — the lower floor will simply be closed off during your stay. If you’re interested in reserving both floors, just tell me and I’ll send you the listing for the whole flat. 10 takeaways for people who don’t have the patience to read my ramblings (but still deserve a very nice place to stay) • Entire 1BR first-floor flat in Ravenswood, Chicago, on the North Side • Sleeps 2 (Queen bed) • Full kitchen + fast Wi-Fi • Work-friendly table ideal for remote work • Shower with (pretty dang good) water pressure • Professionally cleaned by people who care deeply and would benefit from other hobbies • 35-minute walk to Wrigley, 10-minute stroll to the Brown Line • First-floor unit in a vintage building (quirks included, free of charge) • Hosted by a creative human, managed by professionals who actually pick up the phone • Thoughtful touches, neurotic art • 24/7 phone support after booking • The towels are nice and the bath products aren’t from a gas station. You’ll be fine. I also run a few other apartments in this neighborhood. Each one has its own personality; the same sitcom energy, just different wardrobes. If you’re curious, look for the other terrible puns: 'Shingle Life', 'Alpaca My Bags', and 'Costa Lota' are a few. You'll find soft, nice sheets (not the nylon nightmares other hosts offer up), good pillows, a good mattress, thick towels, and Public Goods bath products. I also keep you stocked with coffee and a few small extras to make mornings feel less like punishment. I’ve partnered with a top-tier management team to handle logistics and cleaning, so you get both thoughtful design and professional support. You’re getting the best of both worlds here: I get to be your friendly, creative host...sharing local tips and a well-loved space...without also being the person scrubbing behind the toilet. I wouldn’t list a space I wouldn’t stay in myself, so I like to point out every quirk. Clear expectations make for great stays. There are six steps up into the unit, so it’s not great for guests with limited mobility. And yes, it’s the ground floor of a 120-year-old building, so you will hear footsteps above and folks walking by outside. Location: The flat is in Ravenswood, a peaceful, tree-lined neighborhood with its own vibe. You’re tucked into a quiet pocket of the city just a few blocks west of Ashland, where things get lively fast. Walk a few minutes over and you’re on the Brown Line train (a super scenic trip that takes you straight into the heart of Chicago) or stroll over to hop the Ashland bus and you’ll be down in Wrigleyville or up in Andersonville before your phone finishes loading the weather. Wrigley Field is about a 35-minute walk or a 10-minute cab ride. The neighborhood is full of lovely old houses with a few great spots to eat here and there. This is also a great spot for longer stays or remote work thanks to quiet surroundings and easy North Side transit. Ravenswood is considered one of the best-connected neighborhoods for exploring Chicago without a car. Parking: I’ll say this, and really mean it: we are so well located with transit and ride share options you probably won’t need a car unless you’re using it to get to Chicago. But, lucky for you...the building has an absolutely marvelous parking spot included with it. Also, a universal city tip: please read the street signs. All of them. Chicago’s parking rules were clearly written by a sleep-deprived poet with a grudge. Exclusive perks: Guests staying under 14 days get access to The Metropolitan Club, a members-only co-working and dining space on the 66th and 67th floors of the Willis Tower. Yes, it’s fancy. Yes, the view is outrageous. Yes, you can take your laptop and pretend to be someone who owns a watch that ticks. Design notes: This apartment is all about contrast: bright white walls, inky black trim, and a collection of nautical banners that actually came from Norway (because of course they did). The whole space has that crisp, graphic feeling you get from a perfectly balanced editorial spread… with a little mischief tucked in. The bedroom lamps are especially lovely. My mum once said they reminded her of her ovaries “back when she had them,” which I’ve decided to take as a compliment to both the lamps and the ambiance. Guest access You’ve got the entire flat to yourself. I promise you won’t somehow find your host staring into the refrigerator at 2 am. If you are intensely curious, totally feel free to sneak down the stairs and look at the rest of the space (I totally would in your shoes) If you’re a smoker, please head off-property. Outside the back door or in the courtyard garden still counts as “on property,” so plan accordingly. Theres a tedious neighbor who keeps smoking outside of the back door...sorry about them, they suck. Vaping indoors and fun things from our local dispensary also count as “no.” (And no, that one clove cigarette you brought back from Berlin doesn’t get a pass.) Other things to note Q: How do I get to [place] from here? Q: “How do I get to ‘x’ from the apartment?/How far is the apartment from ‘x’?” A: Excellent public transit directions from my flat to any point in the city are available via web search. We're a short walk from the Addison Brown Line “L” train station. Search for “Addison Brown Line stop Chicago” in Maps, click the “Directions” button, then enter your point of interest. Q: When is check-in/check-out? A: Check-in is at 4pm. Check-out is at 11am. If you need a place to stash bags before or after, I can recommend a local luggage drop service. It never hurts to ask about early check-in. If we can, we do it. But a late checkout is always going to be a no, as our team of cleaners get their hustle on during the day so they can go home to their families at night. Q: “Is there parking nearby?” A: One free parking spot is included with your stay. If you'll bring more than one car, there's free street parking on our block and most residential blocks nearby except between 5-10pm on Cubs game nights and when there are special events at Wrigley Field. Be sure to move your car because the street will be a tow zone during those hours without a residential permit. Take care to check all signs nearby when parking because it's easy to get a ticket when parking rules are broken. Q: Do you have air conditioning or heat? A: We do! Heat is via a gas furnace with your own thermostat. In warm months, it will also supply air conditioning. The space stays comfortable year-round. Why stay here? Because I’ve done the hard part. I’ve figured out how to make a space that’s both beautiful and genuinely comfortable. A space where you can fall asleep under an installation of pinned-up nautical pennants and wake up to soft Chicago morning light. A space that feels personal but doesn’t have anyone’s toothbrush forgotten in the silverware drawer. I’m the kind of host who wants to tell you where to get the best almond croissant and how to dodge Chicago parking tickets. I love sharing this place with people who notice details...who get joy from great sheets, piles of National Geographic magazines, and the quiet thrill of exploring someplace new. Before you book, our virtual front desk is available from 9am to 7pm CST to answer any questions you have. After you book, you’ll get access to that same virtual support during those hours plus a phone number where you can reach a real, live human being 24 hours a day...whether you’re locked out or just panicking about how the stove works. Hope you love it. Hope you come back. Hope it makes you feel just a little 'nauti. Registration Details R23000095927
