Teal Room - King Bed, near CTA, 20min to Downtown - Chicago

This circa 1895 Victorian Bedroom features ornate plaster work, original hardwood flooring, in-room fireplace.

Easy unmetered street parking is readily availabe.

You will have full access to the kitchen cooking and free Keurig coffee. You have a private mini fridge in your room for food storage.

There are multiple common areas on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floors including Dining, Living, TV, and Recreation rooms.

The house is one block from the Kedzie Green line rail station.

The space is in an old victorian era (c.1895) limestone/brick mansion located on Chicago's west side in the East Garfield Park neighborhood. It overlooks Washington Blvd. and is about a block from the Kedzie Green Line Train.

Please note if you book, this is an old house, with over 125 years of living. This means lumps, bumps, scratches, and things in general that are less then perfect. Most people enjoy this character of a house, and it's why they book.

I allow LUGGAGE DROP OFF! You can store your luggage in the closet before check-in and after check-out times, you can drop it off and pick it up as early and as late as you would like. Public transit options (train, bus, bike share) available about a block away.

The entire home except remaining private rooms are available. This includes the kitchen, dining room, billiards room, parlor, laundry room, and of course common bathrooms.

While I live at the house, there is a chance we may never cross paths during your stay due to the size of the home.

I'm always available via messages/phone, so if anything comes up, let me know! I assume everything is going well unless it's brought to my attention.

I'm happy to provide advice on where to eat, how to get around, and where to shop, just ask!

East Garfield Park is an area that is still majority minority, filled with houses on the block that have been rehabilitated, next to boarded up ones. That said, don't expect high district level amenities such as a Starbucks on the corner, think more gas station coffee instead.

The house is about 1 block from the Kedzie green line station. It’s 20 minutes from downtown and about 45 from either airport. There is ample street parking in front of the home for those arriving by car.

I mention this in the neighborhood section of my listing as well, but it's worth repeating here.

Please do your research and know where you are booking. I've lived here for over 7 years and never had a concern for my own safety or that of the thousands of my guests.

Also, please note that I don't have keyed locks on interior doors of the home. If this is a problem for you, please don't book. I trust you, the guest, with my single most valuable asset and all of my personal belongings. I have never been given a reason to doubt that trust in this community, but if you plan on breaking that trust, please don't book.
