We stayed at this Airbnb for a month while looking for a long-term rental after moving to Chicago. It was the perfect fit for us. Location: Bridgeport is quiet and walkable (tons of restaurants and a grocery store within a 5min walk), but it’s still easy to get up into the city to do something downtown. There’s a big park right across the street that always has activities going on, and you can walk to the White Sox stadium in 20mins. Apartment: Comfortable and well-organized are the things that stand out the most. It’s a cute setup on the bottom floor of a townhouse. It’s got big windows at the front and opens onto a small lawn at the back. There’s a very nice TV with Netflix and a comfortable couch facing it. The bedrooms were comfortable and spacious. The bathroom was perfectly clean and the shower had good water pressure and hot water. Overall a fantastic experience, and I could recommend it both for longer term stays or a weekend away with friends!

Home stay was a great place to stay.Enjoy every experience from commuting from the hasted cta train station which is just 10mins of biking, to 7mons drive to Chinatown .. perfect location for lovers of commuting to and from work downtown Chicago. No need to worry about car parking cos there’s free road side parking available 24/7 . I will highly recommend HomeStay and host Jason and his crew at anytime.
