About this property

The Avondale Guesthouse

This is a private three bedroom house you will be reserving in the Avondale neighborhood. Plenty of available free street parking. The residence sits on the intersection of Elston, Rockwell and Wellington. We are in the middle of it all. You can shoot into downtown quickly or be in Wrigleyville within minutes to watch the Cubs. You’ll love this place because of the neighborhood and privacy. I recommend using a vehicle to-and-from this location.15 minute drive to downtown.

The space is three large carpeted bedrooms, sunny dining room, chill living room, and one bathroom. Only a few stairs up from the sidewalk and you are in the house that was built in 1892. The look and feel of the house is true Chicago vintage. You have all the privacy you need. Decent size deck in the back with a gated backyard. Hardwood floors in the living and dining room add to the retro feel. Each bedroom has a large closet, full or queen size bed, night stand and dresser. Create breakfast for your group in the large kitchen that has lots of cabinets and storage space. Plenty of closets throughout if you are a traveling band or in Chicago for work and need a temporary place for your equipment. There is a washer and dryer in the house that you may use. Radiator heat keeps the place toasty in the cold months. Window AC units keep the whole place cool in the summertime. No large parties please.

****You have access to the deck, yard, and laundry room.****

****If you need anything I live under 10 minutes from the property.****


Things to consider before making a reservation:
-Although the house is in a manufacturing area, you are very much within the city limits and not the suburbs. The street that the house is on "Elston", can have lots of traffic during the day.

-Please take note that the house is next to a Steak House. They do have parties at times and will play music at night (open until 1am on weekends). From my experience I do not think it is excessive, however if you have children with you this may pose a problem on certain nights (weekends).

-Just a heads up, I have alcohol related advertisements in the form of signage and posters in the kitchen and in one bedroom.

-The other thing to think about is getting around town from this location. This rental is best if you have a vehicle. The bus and train are not right outside the door. You will have to do a little research on catching the train and bus (or ask me). We are not terribly far from public transportation, however if your not from Chicago you may find dealing with the train and bus system can be tedious. The nearest subway station in the Blue Line Logan Square stop; The neighborhood is very pleasant to walk through. The AGH is not walking distance to downtown. You can get to downtown Chicago in 15 minutes or less by car.



Please ask me if early arrival or late departing is available. I do allow flexibility
with the schedule if time permits. However please remind me the day before that you
will be coming early or leaving late if we agreed to it. It is hard to keep up with many
schedule demands on my end, but I keep up with all VRBO messages.

Perfect stay for the pets and significant other!
The neighborhood actually feels very safe. Fully fenced in yard for the dogs and a street right out the back with some grass for them to use the restroom, ensure you bring your clean up bags! Would recommend for anyone looking to be within 20 min of downtown. There was a great brewery, Rockwell brewery, that’s only a block away and safe to walk to.

Avondale perfection!
I can’t say enough about how wonderful this property and this stay was. It’s a great location, very close to bus stops and all kinds of fun attractions. It was well stocked, best I’ve experienced in vacation rentals. Everything you could possibly need and many things I wouldn’t have considered. Great communication with property manager. We will definitely be revisiting this stellar property.

Perfect Location
This house is a perfect place to explore Lincoln park Chicago. We stayed with 8 adult women and had more than enough space. Everything we needed was in the home. Super clean home as well.

Fine, but…
Lots of space but not really near anything. Also, need to upgrade the front door lock- you can see the outside even with it locked. Front bedroom is so loud bc on the street and shower could use an upgrade.

Why they chose this property

This location is great to get to downtown quickly. You can also enjoy Wicker Park, Lincoln Park, Lakeview or Wrigleyville which are all under 10 minutes away. Also close to the 90/94 expressway. You can get anywhere in the Chicagoland area fast. There is also plenty of free parking around the house.

What makes this property unique

With a private home to yourself you do not have to worry about neighbors that live in the same building or property. You can do what you want within reason :). We love to respect our neighbors as well.
