Live Like a Local - Lincoln Park basement walkout

This apartment is on the lowest level of an updated 1880s Chicago frame home in Lincoln Park and includes its own separate, private entrance. - Washer/Dryer (private, in-unit) - Free, plentiful street parking! (a rarity in Chicago) Just west of DePaul University (0.5-1 mi), the apartment is located on a bustling main street with easy access to public transit (bus, train, & Metra) and a variety of bars and restaurants. The space ABOUT THE APARTMENT This Lincoln Park basement walkout has room for 6 people to stay: - 1st bedroom: full size bed - 2nd bedroom: full size bed - 1 full size pull-out sectional couch PLEASE NOTE: This house was originally built in 1888, and older houses come with quirks. Please read below to make sure this property works for you! // 1. This apartment was renovated in 2025, but because the building is older, there is a structural ceiling beam in the kitchen/living room area that is roughly 6.5 feet from the ground. The rest of the ceilings are above 7 foot, but please take this beam into consideration if you are taller. // 2. This is a lower level garden apartment, also known as a basement walkout. There are approximately 6-8 steps down from street level. // 3. This apartment is on a bustling main street in a family-friendly neighborhood. There are plenty of pedestrians, cars and busses zipping around, and fellow neighbors both in the same building and next door. If you are looking for quiet seclusion, this may not be the location for you. // 4. We added significant insulation to the ceiling when we remodeled, which heavily dampens noise. However, as all apartment living goes, we cannot guarantee complete silence. Additionally, you may occasionally hear the sump pump run (located in a closet off the living room). If you are sensitive to noise or neighbors, you may want to seek different accommodations. // 5. There is no dedicated dining room but a drop leaf table that can comfortably seat 4 (uncomfortably, 6) in the living room. // 6. There is a recycling facility about a half mile away on the Chicago River. If you’re a super smeller, it’s warm, and the wind is blowing just right, you can occasionally catch a whiff when you’re outside. We have even contacted the city about it but unfortunately cannot offer refunds due to a scent we can’t control. A COUPLE OF RULES: — No smoking of any kind inside or within 10 ft of the property (tobacco, vape, marijuana, etc.). This includes the shared back patio. — No pets, including emotional support animals, as we need to keep the space as allergen free as possible for other guests. — This property is a vacation rental, not a hotel.

Free and Plentiful Street Parking: If you know Chicago, it's hard to find free parking or parking without a permit. Our neighborhood has free parallel parking right in front of the house and on all neighborhood side streets. (We have personally never had to park farther than 1 block away.) Full kitchen with quartz countertops! Cooking basics, soap/shampoo/conditioner, and bed/bath linens are provided.
