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.

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.

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.

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.

Great location, host was really nice and made everything easy and comfortable for our stay!

Nice place, nice host!

Great host and location! I highly recommend staying here! The house was fantastic!

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.

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.

I stayed with Vesna for six weeks while completing a veterinary externship in Skokie. She is an amazing host who immediately made me feel welcome and at home! The room was comfortable and had everything I needed. Downtown Chicago is a reasonable drive away. There's also close/easy access to public transportation to get around.

Vesna was a great host, made me feel welcome. Even cooked breakfast on my 1st day. Home was clean well taken care of. Parking was easy off alley in back of property. Room was as shown in the picture, met all my needs. Great host.

I enjoyed my stay. It was clean, comfortable and met the needs for my travel.

I stayed at Vesna's apartment for 3 nights while in Chicago for a wedding. She made sure I had a pleasant stay, gave me a lift when my uber ride was running late, and even made breakfast ...yummy! Awesome host. Clean and comfy apartment. I would stay at Vesna's apartment again, and I recommend to other Airbnb-ers visiting Chicago.

Vesna is a nice lady, easy to stay with. The house/room is clean, convenient. The price is reasonable.

Vesna, It was great time for us! We will never forget the times spending with you. Thank you very much for being nice for us. I hope we will get the chance to see you again..!

Good location. Very friendly!

My sister and I decided to go with an airbnb listing over a budget hotel and we are so glad we did. First, the space is immaculate- so much cleaner and more peaceful than other places we have stayed (like budget hotels...how nice not to be concerned about bedbugs or dirty sheets or noisy neighbors!). There is a half bath for guests a few steps away from the guest bedroom (which is even prettier than the pictures on the site show), and a full bath next to that with a (very clean) shower that's shared. Second, Maureen is a great host. We benefited from her knowledge of the area and followed several of her suggestions. She offered help we didn't realize we needed, and basically did everything she could to make sure we got the most out of our two night stay. She made coffee for us both mornings and set out a bunch of teas as well. She also let us use her fridge and freezer to store a few things. Third, this is a great location. There was easy street parking right in front of the house both days we were there. The neighborhood feels safe, the house and yard are lovely, and there are great places to eat and nice little neighborhood markets just minutes from the house. Finally, I must mention that Maureen's little dog is also a selling point- tiny, adorable, well-behaved, and friendly, she had us at "hello." :) Overall a very pleasant and charming place to stay!

Maureen was a great host! Her house is lovely, the bedroom and bathroom private and clean and the location ideal with tons of street parking. Maureen provided a delicious breakfast, fresh coffee and a lot of insight into the area, with ideas of where to go, eat, etc. She even loaned us a cart for helping with our daughter's move. I would definitely stay again and look forward to it. An added bonus - an adorable dog!

Great place to live and Maureen is really nice!

Maureen was a wonderful hostess! We felt comfortable in her home right away. Her dog is quiet, sweet and cuddly. Maureen was helpful with my trip before I even arrived. After I told her I was coming to do some genealogical research she started looking for resources I may not have thought of. My mom got sick while we were there and Maureen gave her vitamin C, herbal teas, and a special Vick's plug-in. She even dug through her art supplies to find something for us to make a rubbing of a headstone. We were especially grateful for the wonderful restaurant recommendations she made and enjoyed a having Thai and pie with her! We hope she'll come visit us in the future. She made a great trip wonderful!

5-star host in Skokie. After this, I might never go to a hotel again. Thank you Maureen for taking care of so many details imagined and unimagined. That I prefer not to reveal here, so other people can find out themselves. You provided so much human touch in this hi-tech world. At first I didn't want stay in Skokie due to long commute to downtown. However, Maureen gave valuable insider tips of when using cta, metra, bus or uber in conjuction. Spending $10/day and 40-mun commute was unexpected awesome. Next time in Chicago I will book in advance to make sure your place is available. Thanks for the invaluable conversations. You are my new best Chicago friend now. God bless.

Maureen was a gracious and hospitable host. The home was located in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. The room provided by Maureen was clean, cozy, and well kept. The stay was enjoyable and I hope to return one day.

Maureen is one of those extraordinary people who is talented, one of the sweetest people you will meet and very well organized. I had exclusive use of 1 sleeping room and the guest bath which were both closest to the kitchen.  The shower is in a bathroom shared with other occupants of the house.  The whole place was clean and neat.  In addition, the sleeping room was spacious. The sleeping room's outside casement windows were high on the wall so the room was very private.  I live in the country so night-time outside my home bedroom is dark.  Maureen's neighborhood is well lit at night.  On 2 of the nights that I slept at Maureen's, the outside temperatures were delightful and the open windows made the sleeping room air fresh and pleasant.  The 3rd night was hotter and the air conditioning worked well.  I slept well.  The room was quiet even with windows open.  If you need electricity near the head of the bed for your laptop or other device, you might want to bring an extension cord as the outlets are behind the bed or along the side walls near the foot of the bed.

Stay at Howard's place was great. And he himself is a great host, it was pleasure to meet him. Room was clean and as described. His place is great for people without a car - a lot of things are walking distance, including big transportation hub. Recommendations by Howard will help you find the best spots and places to go.

Howard was an accommodating host. The room was clean and comfortable. The apartment is very centrally located to where I needed to go. Shops and restaurants were just up the street, as well as the train station and bike and running trail.

Howard did a great job making us feel welcome in his home. Even went out and got us coffee the first morning. Room was tidy and bed is very comfortable. Howard was friendly and engaging. Would stay again if in the area.

Safe quiet neighborhood with convenient parking. 10-15 minutes away from Northwestern University. I spent the week in and out helping my daughter get set up in her place. It was nice to have a place away from the kids and chaos to rest and unwind. Howard was an excellent host who Is kind and helpful.

Howard's townhouse worked out well for me. His place was an easy walk to Skokie Yellow "L" line and bus terminal. Room was cozy and quiet. Bed was comfortable.

Jaili was a wonderful host. I stayed with her for 6 weeks and she immediately made me feel welcome. She took me to the market, around town and to some fantastic eateries in Chicago. Her apartment is clean and conveniently has a washer and dryer in the basement. The location is great because it's near public transit, a market, a yoga studio and some fantastic restaurants. I would definitely stay there again. :)

Jaili is an excellent host! Very cool and easy to get along with. Her place is relaxing and comfortable. The neighborhood is great for walking around and there are plenty of places nearby to eat or grocery shop. The yellow line is close by, so it is easy to get anywhere in the city using CTA. I would absolutely stay with Jaili again!

Thank you Jaili for making my stay a pleasant and comfortable experience. You have been very helpful and kind, making me feel at home for the whole duration, I much appreciate, Bruno.

I wish I was able to give more stars, but alas. She was fantastic, had near everything I wanted, and some stuff I hadnt thought I needed available. Couple that with a good location........ I would totally stay again.

Jail is a wonderful, caring hostess who will go out of her way to make sure your stay is comfortable & your trip is a complete success.

This was so nice! I saved a bunch of money instead of staying at the Skokie Holiday Inn on 5300 W. Touhy. This is a quiet and safe neighborhood and the hostess was very nice and friendly! I was even able to do my laundry for free and she was thoughtful enough to include complimentary detergent.

Jaili is a wonderful, thoughtful host and her home was warm and cozy. Thank you for having me and I hope I can stay with you next time I come into town. I loved that her place is located downtown Skokie!

The stay was good~ the neighborhood is nice and the mall is very close, also lot of restaurants are available in the area. To go to the city it takes around 30 minutes which is not bad. Location wise its very nice. Check in time was very flexible too. Responsiveness not too fast. The house itself is spacy and clean but the AC was not working correctly, also the matresses on the two kids room are not the best quality. In general, if you are in chicago to visit the city, this is not bad.

It was a great stay here. Spacious enough and the Kids really enjoyed their time.

I realize this is a family home and not usually a rental, but there were way too many personal items let out, no trashcans in the bathrooms, TV didnt work. AC worked for one day before it made a very loud sound. Contacting host via text, I got no response. It was fine for what it was, but improvements are needed.

Maayan's house was a perfect fit for us. We are a family of 4 - we have two small boys - and the generous back yard with swings and slide and the basement full of toys were just wanted we needed. The house is psacious and comfortable. There were a few small issues - things that needed to be repaired - but Maayan and/or her property manager respinded quickly. The only big issue was the central a/c, which basically did not work. The separate units in the master bedroom and extra office helped, but the kids bedroom would get too warm. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay.

The host canceled this reservation 75 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Gracious couple. Quiet neighborhood. Great conversations. We hope we have the opportunity to stay again.

Very accommodating and kind! Great experience. Thank you!

Patricia was a perfect host, gracious and accommodating. Her charming art filled home is tucked away on a quiet tree lined street convenient to Evanston and Northwestern University. The room is spacious, comfortable and immaculate. Patricia and her husband even made a delicious breakfast with home baked bread, cheeses and fresh fruit. Thank you Patricia!

i quite enjoyed my time here! wish i could have stayed longer. breakfast was delicious, conversation was fascinating, everything was clean and lovely. access to the house and bedroom was simple. plenty of safe street parking too! i will certainly try to stay here next time i am in chicago. i cant thank you enough for such a lovely place to stay!

Wonderful and gracious hosts! Would definitely stay with Patricia and her husband again! We loved the appetizer that Joaquin prepared and the bread that Patricia made upon our arrival!

Patricia is super nice! Beautiful house and quiet neighborhood. Staying at Patricia's was so comfortable, we will definitely stay there again!

Patricia and Jochin are wonderful hosts and lovely, interesting and interested people - fellow travelers. I really enjoyed being with them. The room and bathroom are very comfortable and relaxing - very nicely furnished and appointed and private. Their home is conveniently located and yet in a peaceful setting with no through traffic on the street. The breakfast was an unexpected and delicious treat. I look forward to future stays if I'm in this area!

I spent ten days with the Mejia's in their lovely home and enjoyed my time with them so much I was reluctant to leave. Both Patricia and Joaquin were wonderful hosts, who made me feel part of the family and went out of their way to help me find my way around Evanston and Chicago. Mornings and evenings spent chatting on the deck were both stimulating and memorable as was the lovely breakfast each morning. The room was very comfortable and private with everything I needed to make my stay comfortable. If you are going to Evanston, I really can't recommend the Mejias enough!
