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.

Great Stay!

I enjoyed a weekend stay here for the Chicago Marathon and it was great! The location was on a nice, quiet street, while still being close to stores for anything you need and public transportation (trains & busses). The apartment was clean and had all the necessities and the host was very kind and communicative. Would highly recommend!
