Experience a true Chicago neighborhood in a classic vintage (but updated) two-flat apartment just 10 minutes from Wrigley Field, 4 minutes from I-90/94 and a 15-minute walk or short bus ride to the blue line. Central air/heat and free street parking. I'm a former Super Host and capital P Perfectionist, but decided to list the space before it's perfect to help cover the cost of future renovations. As long as you don't mind not having a brand-new bath/kitchen and fresh paint, you'll love it!

I started hosting on Airbnb in 2015, when I lived in an apartment near Wrigley Field. After living in Logan Square for a while, I decided to purchase a classic two-flat in the Irving Park neighborhood and rent out the top unit (I live in the bottom unit with my family and two dogs). I'm a writer at an advertising agency and also enjoy renovating/decorating, vintage reselling and other entrepreneurial pursuits. One of us is typically in town and at home during your stay, and always available by Airbnb message or text
