I own a beautiful historic 100+ year-old Chicago bungalow which was turned into a two-family home decades ago. I renovated the second floor apartment as a vacation rental unit. It has two-bedrooms with additional futon and airbed sleeping.
The kitchen has full-size appliances and is stocked with the basics for cooking. The completely tiled, freshly renovated bathroom has a lovely walk-in shower. Everyone loves the showerhead. A fenced-in backyard with patio furniture and a grill allows for outdoor relaxing, too.
I allow the guests to bring up to two (house-broken) dogs. A fee of $20 a night per dog. No cats.
I am sure you noticed the front porch which is also for guest use and ideal for those who smoke. I am 420 compliant.
At the end of my street is the famous deep dish pizzeria called Giordano's.
The historic Portage Park has a wonderful mix of restaurants, specialty shops and kitschy places along with a wide variety of authentic, ethnic restaurants. Located less than 2 miles from Jefferson Transit Station, makes this the ideal location to get around Chicago. Did I mention the free street parking?
I currently have it listed on both AirBnB And I am a 9-time Superhost!

My house and both homes inside it, including the brick garage are available to the film and TV production community for rent for shoots and is listed in the Illinois Film Production Guide and on Set Scouter.
My home is ideal for celebrities who travel with their furry friends, enjoy privacy and the quiet sounds of my neighborhood. Easy to access from three highways and three train lines, directly north of Cinespace Studios and 15-minutes from O'Hare airport makes this place perfect for any cast or crew member from out of town. Being in the entertainment business forever, I am really low key about it all and can promise complete privacy and secrecy.

REVIEWS
Here is my very first review. It was from a great couple who promised to return
If you are looking for a relaxing space that is clean, brand new, and a wonderful host then check out Jamie’s place. We stayed for 2 "nights and it felt like we were just part of her family, not strangers at all. Jamie was very respectful of our space and privacy. You have your own private entrance so you can come and go as you please with no worries you are bothering anyone. The street parking was free and close to the house, so no problems at all finding a spot. The space was stunning. We had our own living room, kitchen, bathroom, and 2 bedrooms. It looked brand new and was cleaner than any hotel I’ve ever been too. All appliances are there for you. Jamie was also just a nice, caring lady. She wants you to have a great stay and will do whatever she can to make sure you do. Extremely responsive to questions and was available if we needed anything. She also gave us some home made cupcakes, which were delicious. We used Lyft to get to and from a concert at United Center and had no problems. We recommend staying here and certainly will again during our future travels."
And then she sent this in a private note:
"We had a wonderful time and were thankful to just get to relax and enjoy time away from our daily lives. My only tip would be to make sure people know that the space looks brand new. The pictures posted don’t do it justice. It is an amazing space and we only really knew that when we got there. We felt lucky to find it. Thank you for all your hospitality!"
And more from my happy guests: \
Lovely space! Building is quiet, unit is clean, beds are super comfy. The neighborhood was also quiet and clean. My dog and I enjoyed both our stay in the unit and our daily walks around the neighborhood. Easy access to the highway and the on street parking always had a space near the house.
Jamie is truly a super host. The Airbnb and apartment is incredibly spacious and the value is extraordinary. She is one of the warmest and kindest people that we met in our travels. We stay in many Airbnb‘s and would recommend Jamie so highly. She thinks of everything —she’s kind caring and experienced. She is detailed in her communication. She even helped my mother when she needed medical attention.Oh and she also was wonderful about my mothers service animal staying with her. Thank you again Jamie we can’t wait until the next time!”
"If you’re looking for a home away from home, this place is it! This space is so cozy! I always looked forward to coming “home”. The beds are super comfy and the space is very livable. There was a bus stop just down the street which takes you directly to a transit park for Chicago. It’s probably about 45mins to a little over an hour to downtown. AppleMaps does really well to help navigate between trains and buses. Jamie is full of good information and will simply text you to check on ya. Super great communicator! Also, she has a nifty book complied of house rules and check out info to local shops, businesses, entertainment, etc. this has probably been one of my favorite Airbnb stays ever and I’ve been a few places!”
“Jamie was an amazing host. Very attentive and she made sure we had absolutely everything we needed during our stay. The delicious homemade cookies upon arrival were definitely a plus! It’s in a great location with plenty of bars and restaurants close by. Super comfy beds as well. Would definitely stay again!”
"Jamie is an outgoing breath of fresh air. Her place is clean and cozy with a bit of nostalgia. She is both hospitable and thoughtful."
"Jamie was a gracious responsive host. She we very accommodating and made everything very easy for us. My 3year old daughter loved the tent and wanted to sleep in it every night. The bed was firmer than I am used to but it was still super comfortable. The blankets felt like being wrapped in a cloud. I couldn't have asked for a better experience."
"Awesomeness! Jamie’s place is homey, clean, comfy and cozy. She warmly welcomed us and gave us the tour with helpful advice on nearby attractions, restaurant hints and coupons. The beds were super comfortable and I slept peacefully. Tucker my fur-baby was not forgotten, he had his own welcome gift. I would recommend Jamie’s place to everyone. Thanks again"
“I would fall short of adjectives describing how amazing this place is. If you think it looks pretty in pictures, wait until you see it in person, so cute, and all the attention given to the little details, that only make the place even more unique and special. It has everything you may need for a short or long stay. I traveled with my dog and she had bowls, plenty of beds and even treats and a toy waiting for her. And if you don’t think it could get better, there is Jamie, who was a wonderful host, always available when needed and always making sure that our stay was outstanding. Her suggestions were spot on and the neighborhood is adorable with plenty of street parking. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting the city!!!”
"The rental was exactly as expected. My fiancé twins were very comfortable. My twins enjoyed the trundle bed in one of the bedrooms they thought it was the coolest thing ever to sleep in it. They also enjoyed see her pet turtle! Jamie and her assistant were awesome. Check in was a breeze as well as checking out. We'll be back for sure! We recommend 100 percent!"
