Neighborhood
Located in a quiet pocket of the Bridgeport neighborhood nestled between the south of the South Branch of Chicago River and the Stevenson expressway. A fire station located across the street provides the comfort that emergency services are close at hand. Note that the fire trucks do not use their sirens while in the neighborhood. They only use their lights, we have never heard sirens. We have lived in Bridgeport for a few years and find it to be a safe and comfortable place for us to raise our family we and wanted to stay in the area when we moved into this new home. Parks: The unique Palmisano Park is just one block away: 27-acres with fishing pond, marsh boardwalk, trails, running track, and a hill with city views. McGuane Park is two blocks away: 10-acres with athletic fields, tennis courts, and playground. Restaurants: Duck Inn, a Michelin rated Bib Gourmand restaurant is just one block away. A few good options three blocks away near Halsted and 31st. Explore Chinatown just 1-mile away. The neighborhood of Bridgeport, located only 3 miles southwest of downtown, is the proud home of five former Chicago mayors and Major League Baseball’s Chicago White Sox franchise. Today, the neighborhood has experienced rapid revitalization and part of a vibrant artistic movement. Now better connected with a growing appreciation for the arts and culture movement, the community boasts a number of culinary and social hotspots. As a result, Bridgeport is one of Chicago’s most culturally vibrant and ethnically diverse neighborhoods, offering stunning art galleries, sports centers, family parks, and authentic eateries.

There can be some noise of toddler running around on weekday mornings 7-7:30am, evenings 6-8pm and weekends.

The place was very easy to find, clean, and peaceful. It was just what I needed during my stay in the city. Pictures were extremely accurate.

I was lucky to get a booking. This was a last-minute reservation for Thanksgiving weekend. I was traveling out of the country and having difficulty finding something. I received a quick response. I was looking for somewhere quiet and in the city. The hosts were accommodating and made the unit ready for me to check-in. The instructions were clear, and the suite looked just like the pictures—a very beautiful space. I would recommend it, and I would love to stay there again.

This is a perfect place to be in when you want a clean, simple space for yourself! I would highly recommend this place due to the location of this area relative to the city, especially if you have reliable transportation. Additionally, there is public transport within walking distance if you feel confident to get around that way. It is amazing for a short stay if you need a comfortable, quiet area to return to after going around to tour the busy city for most of the day. If you want to stay in for the day, the space does have nice air conditioning and felt cozy throughout my entire stay. The hosts were very much helpful to responding to any issues we had during our time there and much understanding. Again, a great spot for a short stay!

Good things mostly: lots of space, clean, comfortable, near the Orange line, nice shower, god overall. Had a nice TV but I never used. Has fridge, microwave, etc (the fridge didn't seem to keep things cool but the back was icy, so who knows). Pretty neighborhood. Small downsides: the location is about a 20 - 30 minute walk from civilization. There's one restaurant that's nearby, a nice one but a bit pricey. Other than that, a long walk. The train is close but you walk along a highway. You basically have to cross an underpass to get anywhere, which always makes me nervous (though the area seems safe). It's quiet, though the toddler upstairs (morning to early evening) and the machinery downstairs (you can shut the door to the bedroom and it's fine) can make some noise. But overall I felt lucky to find the place. Everything was simple, straightforward, and if anything nicer than the photos.
