About this property

The Avondale Lower Level

Check out my basement apartment in Irving Park. The property is right off of Addison Street. Free parking and close to the 90/94 expressway. The Addison Blue Line subway is a 10 minute walk.

Basically a rec space, I rent this out at different times of the year as a convenience to those looking for an alternative to hotels and want to live like a local. I am not part of a property management group, but do love accommodating guests.

***This basement unit has low ceilings (not super low, but should be noted)***
***Pets live on the property and next door. Although not excessive, you will hear dogs at times***
***The "back yard" area "is not" available for use.

As your host, I will help with any information you may need to make your stay in Chicago a memorable one. If I'm in town and not working I will be able to greet you upon your arrival. However majority of the time I am away, and will provide instructions on entering the unit.

You have 100% Privacy. You will not be sharing this apartment with any one else.

The unit also has a private entrance that only you will use. Plenty of permit parking available in front of the house. I provide the permits.

Cooking ware provided.

A Smart TV is mounted in the living room. You can choose to stream or use antenna tv. There is no cable tv.

The apartment has a full bathroom and laundry room.

The master bedroom has a king bed, dresser, and closet. The second bedroom is smaller and has a full size bed. The entire space fits 4-5 people.

My daughter and I stayed at this location last month and we really enjoyed our stay!!! The lower level apartment was super clean, very comfortable, and in a great location, so close to bus stops and the train was just a quick walk away! The neighborhood was also very safe and quiet. Our host had fantastic communication and made sure everything was just right for our stay, giving us helpful tips about the area. He also provided parking permits for our car and we loved being able to keep it just outside the house! We really have fond memories of staying here and will definitely look for it the next time we’re visiting the area!!! Thank you for everything, Jed!

I'll confirm that the ceilings are low. That said, clearly states that in the description. Even with, nicely set up level with furniture, dining table and refrigerator/freezer. Even a microwave. Beds and pillows were very comfortable, and the temperature was pleasant. Lovely neighborhood with many stores and food places nearby. Host was easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend.

Great space for sisters trip

We could not be more pleased with our long weekend stay here. Before the trip, all communication was quick and seamless. Check in was easy. Two comfortable bedrooms, a cozy living room area, dining room, and full kitchen (with eat in table). Also, a walk in pantry! The bathroom was clean and stocked (couldn't figure out how to stop the tub for a bath but that didn't detract overall). The neighborhood was a great choice. Easy walking distance to grocery store (Jewel Osco),a a FANTASTIC diner (Sunshine Restaurant, with a friendly old couple running it... They will know your preferences after one visit and treat you like beloved family by the end of your stay).. Heck, you can even walk a few blocks to a Goodwill if you want to pick up Cubs gear before hopping on the bus (a block from the apartment) to get to Wrigley. We would absolutely stay here again.

Perfect for a long weekend in Chicago. Space was more than big enough for our group of 4. Everything was very clean. We didn't make anything except coffee in the kitchen, but it looked like it would have worked well if we didn't have other plans.
