Kim was amazing. Great communication before check-in. Arrived to an incredible amenity basket, a great space, comfy beds, quiet neighborhood, easy (street) parking, etc. Everything was exactly as promised or better. Recommend to others and will stay here again. Thanks Kim!

It has truly been a pleasure staying at Kim's place. The neighborhood is nice and quiet with easy access to wine and dine as well as groceries. And Kim has been a wonderful landlord who helped us a lot during our stay.

Had a great stay comfortable and roomy accommodation's. Has all the necessary amenities and then some. Kim is practical and accommodating.

Kim was a wonderful host. Anything we needed, she was right on top of it. She was very responsive and the place was nice, pretty and clean.

My family spent four days at Kim's place and everything was great. The neighborhood is quiet and close to NWU for restaurants and shops. A definitely recommend for fellow travelers!

What a lovely 5 days I had in The Getaway. From the projector in the living room to the fully stocked kitchen to Kim greeting us and giving us all kinds of information - everything was just wonderful. I would highly recommend staying here.

Family members visiting for a graduation stayed here. It was conveniently located, comfortable, light, and on a quite side street. Works out very well for our family.

Beautiful apartment, lovingly restored, excellent neighborhood.. Kim was a perfect host... Thoughtful welcoming touches throughout our stay.

Maral’s apartment was absolutely PERFECT. Very comfy, clean and well-equipped. Maral and his wife went over and above to make us feel welcome including a delicious homemade cookie tray. The location was also perfect. It’s just 20 minutes (driving) away from Chicago’s downtown. Maral’s apartment includes parking and it’s just a few feet away from the yellow line train. I would definitely choose this place again I would have to come back to Chicago.

Andy and Maral make a real effort to make you comfortable. They are responsive and pleasant. They have made upgrades to make this older apartment appealing. I found it quite adequate for a short term stay.

Andy and Maral were great hosts. I got some basic information from Maral, she gave me Andy's number and he took it from there. They were both awesome. There listing was accurate and was just like the pictures. The apartment was clean and I was very happy it was on the second floor. Andy met me at out arranged time, showed me where everything was and gave me the keys. There was one thing I needed (iron and ironing board) that wasn't there and Andy got it for me the same day, no problem and no questions asked. He was very nice and genuinely cared about my stay. The neighborhood was perfect. In a two block walk I was on the main downtown strip. It was close to restaurants, nail and hair and massage salons, a cafe, cigar shop, and more. Great Location. This Airbnb could not have been any better.

The host canceled this reservation 42 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Clean and comfortable apartment. Andy gave us a great tip on a restaurant in the neighborhood

Maral and Andy are very attentive hosts. They are very friendly and kind. The apartment interior is recently refurbished. All the furniture is new, as is kitchen and bathroom. Kitchen is well-equipped for cooking. Washer/dryer located in the basement -- easy. Very comfortable place to stay. Wonderful international supermarket less than 5 minutes' walk. Walk to downtown Skokie (including public library) in less than 10 minutes.

We had a great and comfortable stay! Host is very warm and welcoming. Unit spacious enough for four people.

The host canceled this reservation 50 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Stephen is a great host i would recommend to my friends.

Very good actually. My host was very nice, remained awake till late as my flight got delayed. Very hospitable and found him very decent guy. House is very clean and he is very helpful and great as a host. Highly recommended.

That was my first AirBnb experience and was a really good one. Stephen is a great host, very friendly and did everything to feel me welcome. Had a great day in Chicago - thanks Stephen!

Stephen was a very interactive and responsive host. Good location, and nice, clean apartment.

Stephen was very hospitable during my stay. Always checked in to make sure I was okay, and had answers to all my questions. The apartments is in a very safe and quiet neighborhood, the train is just a 9 minute walk away, and the buses are even closer.

As advertised, this place is clean, quiet, and safe. There was slight problem with the door when I arrived, but Stephen had it fixed ASAP, communicated updates until it was resolved, and credited me some money for the trouble. A very responsive host!

Stephen was a very welcoming & accommodating host. Beyond that he's extremely friendly & easy to get along with. His apartment is a short 8 minute walk to the EL, which made getting around Chicago easy. There are also many fine grocery stores & restaurants close to his apartment.

Truly a five-star experience. I loved the place and felt very comfortable. Ralph was an excellent host, absolutely top notch. If every AirBNB stay was this great I would be much more likely to continually use the platform. He and his wife Julie were very hospitable and kind to me. In many details both large and small, it was a wonderful place to stay. Unique and charming. Kitchen was quite decent. Bed was comfortable. Laundry washer and dryer worked well. If you want to stay in Skokie for a while I think this is a great place to stay.

Great stay, friendly and very good with communication.

It was very comfortable to stay here. Me and my family felt at home in this place. There were a lot of kitchen utensils enough to cook a feast. The bathroom was very spacious. The hosts had factored in for all the needs of the guest. The listing was exactly as was said in the description. WIll definitely stay here again!

Overall, this was a pleasant experience. Jacob was easy to communicate with. The property was clean and spacious. Jacob was even nice enough to provide bottles of water for us to enjoy during our stay.  The only "not so pleasant " aspect of our experience was being able to hear people what was going on above us- people walking and the dog barking.

This was a very large, nice space - definitely worth the money we paid. There were six of us staying there and we never felt cramped. We could hear the host and his family upstairs, but it wasn't bothersome. Overall, would definitely stay here again!

The apartment has it's own entrance through back garden. Very nice area. The neighborhood is very lovely and quiet, definitely nice for a quiet walk-though. Although the apartment itself is separate, the hosts live upstairs and the floors are quite thin. The small amount of background noise doesn't bother us at all but could be troublesome for a couple who require absolute quiet, such as with small children. We were only there one night which was fine. Apartment was suitable for short stay. Jacob was helpful when it came to questions about the area and public transportation. Do note that it is about 1 hour transit from the O'Hare to the apartment directly.

We came for 3 days in Chicago, a group of five students. Jacob was very convenient for check in even though we arrived late, which is quite nice. The place is very nice and clean, there's all you could need, even a grocery store nearby. Only two small things have to be noticed : one morning the dog wouldn't stop barking. It did not wake us up but was quite anoying. Though we weren't spending much time in the day as we visited a lot and it did not bothered us a lot. The second thing is it is quite far from Down Town (even by bus + train). It is not problem during the day, there are many busses, but at night (after 19pm / 20pm) you might be spending a lot of time waiting for the bus. The place is nice, so is the neighborhood, and small things were let for us in the appartment to make ouf stay more pleasant. I would recommend

Jacob was quick and responsive to all my messages prior to check-in, as well as graciously accommodating to my group's late check-in. The apartment was cozy, spacious enough for the 4 of us in the group, clean, and quite comfortable. The only thing I would point out that's worth considering is noise coming from people walking around upstairs. I was woken up at 6 AM by this on the final morning of our stay, which was a Monday. Not terribly inconvenient and makes sense, given work schedules etc., but if you are a light sleeper and decide to stay here during the week, you might want to bring ear plugs. Also, since it's a garden apartment, the ceiling is a bit low in the shower so it could be cramped for tall people. But overall, I would recommend this listing and would be happy to stay here again during my next visit to Chicago!

It was a great experience being there. It is good place ( basement) to live in and finally it has a great location and everything will be near from you

I had a great experience staying at Jacob's! Very nice, calm and beautiful neighborhood. Thanks for hosting us!

Thank you so much! Your room was very clean and comfortable. We are grateful for your hospitality. I recommend this room! Great service and friendly hosts!:)

We only had a brief stay at Sophia's place but it was comfortable, impecibly clean and convienient. The bathroom was very nice and as was the breakfast. It was easy to park on the street. I would definitely stay again if I was in the area.

Sofia was a very delightful host who went out of her way to make me feel comfortable and welcome. I would definitely stay at her place in the future.

It was a pleasure staying with Sofia for a night! She seems like a lovely person and was a wonderful host. Her place is clean and comfortable. She also made me a delicious breakfast prior to my interview which was unexpected but very nice! I would return to her place in a heart beat!

My girlfriend and I had to visit Chicago for short trip, and we decided to use airbnb. When we arrived at Sofia's house, she and her son greeted us. She showed us a bed room, a bathroom, and so on. She also asked us whether we want to have breakfast or not. My girlfriend had soar throat at night, and I asked Sofia that if I can get hot water. She gave me not only just hot water but also lemons. Me and girlfriend really enjoyed staying at Sofia's house. She was very sweet and kind. If we have any chance to visit Chicago in the future, we would like to stay at her place again. :)

This was my first experience with airbnb but Sofia Made sure there will be more to come.

Although my trip to Evanston was unexpectedly cut short, my friend and I had a great time staying with Kristal and her family. The place was well-stocked with all the amenities anyone could need, from snacks to toiletries to TV and wifi. Though Kristal herself was away on a trip, her mom was there to greet us and help us with anything we needed--she was even kind enough to give my friend a ride to the airport. Kristal was easily reachable by phone and extremely accommodating of the last minute changes I had to make to my reservation. I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone else traveling to the area!

What a great trip. Kristal and Aida were so welcoming and wonderful. They made sure I could get in even after my fight was delayed. They had the room stocked with everything I could want. They even had directions waiting for me so I could enjoy Chicago to it's fullest! I can't wait to come back.

Thank you for the stay! It went quick!

For me this experience was very much like having a surrogate family for a couple of days. I felt very comfortable with Kristal and Margarita and didn't have any issues that stood out. I would definitely recommend this place for mostly a personal trip but definitely if you are also wanting to have another person with you there is enough space for two people in one room.

This Airbnb was seriously a five star experience. Gorgeous rooms complete with snacks and tvs. Kristal and her family make you feel immediately at home. They establish comfort and familiarity right away. Would definitely stay here again :).

This room is wonderful! Very spacious and clean! Kristal and her mom are both nice ladies, they allowed me to pick up the items I forgot after I had already checked out. They have two cute cats, the yellow-dot-cat is very sweet, he likes people! They also have plenty of snacks! A great experience here!

Kristal and her family are very warm and welcoming. I felt right at home. They are extremely gracious hosts!!!

It was a really nice experience by staying at Kristal's house. Our room is clean and comfortable. Love all the cute pets in her house :)

Loved the entire experience... my heartfelt gratitude to Jerry and Philip for hosting me. Very nice and clean place, with two lovely kitty cats, and Jerry left clear instructions on how to get there, how to obtain the key etc. Purified water, coffee, tea, honey, English muffins and cream cheese, cookies... the place was stocked with goodies :-)

Jerry was in communication with me from the time I booked. Their house had positive energy and friendly cats. If you would like a break from Chicago's inner city hustle and bustle I recommend their space.

I can only say that Karen and her daughter were happy with the location convenience and cleanliness of their room. I appreciated your allowing me to schedule for them. I'll encourage Karen to get her own ABNB account , but will take responsibility for any issues that you may have. Brad Lee

Jerry was awesome! the apartment was super cute and comfy. Both my sister and I enjoyed our stay. It was near public transit and easy bus or train ride to anywhere we wanted to go.

Home owners were very warm and likes to help people, it was an exciting experience to know them. Even if a problem everything perfectly at home You can be sure that they will do their best.

We stayed ease in hosting. The neighborhood is very quiet. We loved the stay.

Jerry was Very flexible and easy to communicate and plan with. The areas were spacious. Home Not noisy. Clean. He had tea, coffee, and filtered water available . He had shampoo too. Very gentle and responsive young man.

We stayed for three nights in Jerry's and Katie's sunroom. We arrived late but recived all necessary information beforehand. A nice handwritten note awaited us in the hall to guide us to our room. This was a real sunroom with many plants. All facilities were good. The neighbourhood is nice and calm. Jerry and Katie were very kind and helpful with all our questions and with sharing tips on what to do! We would definitely recommend staying in their Pinewood Garden retreat!!

Nancy provided a great space for filming for us for our student film.

Nancy and Jeff were excellent hosts. We really enjoyed staying there at the time of our daughter's graduation from Northwestern University.

Our hosts were friendly and welcoming, and our accommodations were very comfortable for our family of five. The host dogs were very friendly as well, and were definitely a highlight for us as fellow dog lovers!

This place is perfect for guests who have cars and plan to visit either Evanston or Chicago. Very welcoming hosts and quiet neighborhood. Not far away from Metra station and close to awesome restaurants in Evanston and Wilmette. I strongly recommend this place for parents attending NU graduation!

This is my first time using Airbnb and I had a great experience. Nancy was traveling but her son took a great care of us. The house was super clean and organized. It matches what shows in the picture. Highly recommended!

Nancy made me feel welcome even before I arrived by communicating helpful information quickly to me, and being very accommodating. The house was every bit as cozy as the photos had suggested, with lots of art and color. Nancy and Jim's dog Archie is a family member--and it is important that guests appreciate this. He is calm and sweet, and a pleasure to be around. Bedroom and bathroom are comfortable and clean, with plenty of privacy. The neighborhood is quiet and charming--yet it is easy to get to downtown Evanston. Nancy and her husband are kind and thoughtful hosts. This was my first Airbnb experience, and it was just as I had hoped.

Nancy's place worked out well for myself and my granddaughter - we rented both rooms. Was very quiet and very nice bathroom with heated floors which was a treat.

Nancy and husband Jeff along with canine Archie provide a warm at-home atmosphere, complete with bagels for breakfast! They were willing to share the comfort of the living space(s), and weather was perfect to sit on the deck for morning coffee and an occasional take-out meal overlooking an incredibly beautiful backyard, complete with a variety of songbirds visiting the feeders. One evening after our day-long training, we had the pleasure of walking around the neighborhood and found the stroll quite pleasant and safe. Having our own shelf in the refrigerator was a nice convenience. Our stay was perfect!

It was a first time I used Airbnb service and it was a life event! I was blessed to meet this beautiful people who opened their beautiful house for guests from around the world! For those who interested in comfort level: house and room are nicely decorated ,very clean and has a nice comfortable bed, you will have a separate bathroom, which is very nice too. The house is located on very cute quiet street. In a morning Patricia and her husband offer breakfast for all their guests at their big table where everybody enjoy conversing in relaxing atmosphere since all guests fell genuine interest from Patricia and her husband. Most important- Patricia and her husband are wonderful, warm and welcoming people. Do not miss an opportunity to meet them and their other guests! Sincerely, Irina R.

We couldn't have asked for a more gracious and wonderful couple to host our night. Patrician and Joaquin were absolutely a blessing to us. We look forward to staying in touch, and definitely staying again when we're in the Evanston area.

We stayed with Patricia and Joaquin last August, so we were looking forward to seeing them again. Last year we stayed a week in the basement suite, great room. This year we were in the bedroom on the main level. Again very comfortable. The difference is the hosts. We have become friends with Patricia and Joaquin. The conversation is so interesting because of their warmth and interest in people. They shared their life experiences, multicultural and so interesting. We met many of their grown children. We shared travel experiences and learned from the exchange. Long delicious breakfasts, homemade bread and scones, conversations on the deck at night. We really enjoy our visits and look forward to seeing our friends again.

Patricia was attentive in every way. She and Joaquin made a delicious breakfast with homemade breads. The room was very comfortable and the hospitality was outstanding. I would definitely recommend this home.

No Breakfast available for me at all. 2nd room is very small, but the bed was really comfortable. It is quite far from the bathroom assigned to it. Patricia and her husband are incredibly interesting people! I would have liked to have had more time to spend with them. I found their home to be rich with books and art and very comfortable. Sadly, they were unable to accommodate me at all with coffee or breakfast. Nothing at all! Apparently guests have eat when they do at 8:30am. I had shared with them that I had to leave early in the morning for an all day event, and they both assured me that I could at least have coffee or some baked goods available. I had to leave by 7:30. I was loading my car when Patricia appeared (at 7:30) and said that she would make me coffee. But it was too late then, and I genuinely had to leave - I had to navigate unfamiliar territory, scrape ice off my car and be at my destination by 8:00am. Happily, there was a Starbucks nearby so I could at least swing in and get a coffee to go. I really am saddened that the hosts didn't at least think to leave something out for me as they had said they would. They do feature quality breakfasts as part of their package.

My 2nd time staying in this lovely home, very friendly and kind hosts! Strongly recommended!

Patricia and Joaquin are wonderful, warm, and friendly people. They make you feel as if you are a friend visiting! Their home is beautiful, immaculately kept, and the bed is very comfortable. Joaquin also makes a delicious breakfast. This is my favorite AirBnB experience so far!

Yes

Lovely host who really supported me in everything I needed. Very understanding about difficulties in delays for check in. Felt like being part of the family.

A lovely room and a very friendly host. You can't go wrong! Excellent little place to stay. Would gladly stay there again.

Stephanie and her mother are excellent hosts. I had no problems finding the place. And felt like home staying there!

Stephanie's place is very clean and tidy. The bed is comfy and the room is well-heated, so I could hardly feel the winter outside. Overall, I have had a very pleasant stay, which surely has helped with my work during the trip. Stephanie and her mother provided me with the warmest hospitality I've ever experienced with AirBnB. I would wholeheartedly recommend her place to my friends and fellow AirBnB travelers.

comfortable and friendly! perfect.

Wonderful host, room, and bed. Great stay.

Just what we needed! Thank you so much!

A wonderful space in Evanston. Stephanie and her mother were super welcoming and helpful. I would certainly stay here again

Mary has a lovely place; very peaceful and safe. It felt like I was in my own home. She is a sweet host and very welcoming. I definitely plan to return.

Mary was there when we arrived, came right out to meet us and show us the space. It is generally clean and welcoming. It is a basement efficiency and you can feel that you are in a basement--not much window light, low ceilings, etc. Other than that, all was comfortable and very easeful. If you plan on cooking, there are pots/pans, plates and a kitchenette. You need to bring all of your ingredients except salt and pepper if you want to cook. The best part was the comfortable bed and sweet bedroom. Thank you, Mary, for providing such a comfortable place to stay.

Mary has carefully designed a truly welcoming, functional space. The term "simple elegance" comes to mind. The home is in a very quiet residential neighborhood. Having your own entrance is so nice and being able to "cook at home" when I wanted to was a real treat!

This was a great place. It was clean and quiet and Mary was very nice and helpful. It has all the basics you need. The pots and pans were good quality too which is a bonus if you feel like cooking.

Mary is a lovely host. The apartment is a comfortable and relaxing space to return to after a busy day.

Best place to stay, close to the purple line if you are going into the city. Cozy place Mary sets it up with everything you need and she responds with great timing.

We had a great stay in Evanston thanks in no small part to the really nice place in Mary's basement. It has been recently renovated and it was done beautifully. There's a lot of space between the bedroom, kitchen/dining, living and "rec" room. The neighborhood is super cute and walkable. Many of the neighbors had really fun Halloween decorations. The house is also well-situated so that by car it's easy to get to O'Hare, downtown Evanston, the other northern suburbs and Chicago.

The house is lovely and the host is friendly. The house includes comfortable living facilities. We liked the decoration of the house, lovely bookshelf and comfortable bed. The location is convenient and satisfies daily activities. In all, we enjoyed our stay very much!
