Description of the Chicago vacation apartment rental
This is an amazing rental at a great value. Don't be fooled by the low price, this unit is spectacular and every bit as nice as more expensive rentals. Please see the additional photos at the link below.
My normal year round daily rate is $150-$170 per night or $850 per week. From Memorial Day through Labor Day the daily rate ranges from $170-$225 per night and the weekly rate is $950-$1,050 per week.
The luxury features of the rental include: 6 person Luxury Hot Tub, Incredible Chicago skyline view from our Roof Deck, Huge Walk in Shower with Grohe Body Sprays and Steam Bath Generator.
The other basic amenities are: High speed internet and desktop PC for your use. Queen Beds. Original Pine Hardwood Floors. Cedar closets. Weber Stainless Gas Grill. Heated Marble Floor in Bathroom. Kohler bathroom fixtures.
The apartment is also stocked with many of the basic necessities that you will need during your stay such as coffee, tea, soap, shampoo, paper products, etc. I rent myself at least 2-3 times a year. There is nothing I hate more than having to run right out to a store for something that should be in the unit.
Transportation to downtown and the near north area of the city is simple. It is a 15-20 minute drive even in rush hour and there are trains, buses, and cabs readily available. We are located just south of downtown within a 15-20 minute drive to most of the major attractions in this city. We are very convenient to McCormick Place and the museums.
Ours is also a quiet residential neighborhood where you won't hear sirens or car horns all night like some parts of the city. You are not right in the middle of the action of the city, but you are very close to it and you get a great rate. It can easily cost double what I am charging for a rental this size on the North side of the city the same distance from downtown, and parking is non-existent up there. Parking can be tough, but not impossible when the Chicago White Sox are in town as we are located very close to the ball park. This is only a factor for 4-5 hours on the 80 days a year when they are in town. The rest of the time, parking is incredibly easy and you can usually park right in front of the rental. If this sounds good to you, email me or give me a call.
This rental is located just South of Downtown Chicago in the very quiet and safe neighborhood of Bridgeport. It is an easy trip to downtown, the Museum Campus, and all of our city's attractions. Our Mayor Daley grew up 1/4 mile from us and lived here until just a few years ago when he moved to the south loop. Much of his family still lives within blocks of me. You won't find too many safer neighborhoods in this city.
Many years ago, Bridgeport was a working class neighborhood, but our proximity to downtown, McCormick Place, I.I.T, and U.S. Cellular Field has made it a very hot residential destination over the last 5 to 7 years. 5 of our last 7 mayors, including our current Mayor Daley grew up within a few minutes of our building. This is one of the safest neighborhoods in Chicago. One of my neighbors 5 or 6 houses away just built a $2.5 million mansion last year and next door to that house is a huge million dollar plus house with an indoor swimming pool in it's own addition.
There are new condo and townhouse developments everywhere here and the neighborhoods a few miles East of here that used to be questionable 10-20 years ago have also been developed over the last 5-10 years. In our area, half million dollar homes and more are now the norm.
This rental is located on a very quiet and peaceful block. You won't hear city noise of sirens and horns etc here.

- Payment Options: Mastercard, PayPal, Personal Check, Visa
- Check In: 3 p.m.
- Check Out: 10 a.m.
- Required Stay: 2 day minimum or more at all times and possibly longer for holidays and special events
- Lodging Tax: 11.9% included in rates quoted
- Deposits: RESERVATIONS require half of the total of the rental fee, security deposit and the cleaning fee. The 2nd half payment is due 30 days prior to arrival.
A $250 Refundable Security Deposit and $75 cleaning fee are required with each rental. Weekend rentals that are only two night rentals may incur a surcharge or be billed at the high season rate depending on availability. Unless the dates around that weekend are booked, a two night rental doesn't cover my costs and I must adjust to that.
- Other Fees: I accept credit cards and bank checks through Paypal, a secure payment service owned by EBAY. EBAY did 7.5 Billion in business in 2007. Paypal processes billions of dollars in payments a year, this is one of the most secure and advanced payment services available today. Your information stays secure and anonymous and I don't have to worry if a check or credit card is valid. I send an invoice to you from Paypal which will only take you a few minutes to pay whether you have an account or not.
