芝加哥 · 整套loft · 2室2床1.5卫 · 可住5人 · Former Artist Studio
A modern take on a vintage space! Encompassing over 1200 square feet on 2 floors, this former artist studio has been lovingly recreated as an eclectic 2 bedroom duplex down, from the original 100+ year old tin ceiling, to the century old bedroom door re-purposed as a desk. This vintage storefront unit was originally the neighborhood cobbler from post Chicago fire days 100+ years ago. More recently during Bucktown's artist colony days, it was the former studio of famous Chicago artist Richard Loving. The space has been completely rehabbed to modern standards, from the gourmet Thermador stove to the oversized tub. We have tried to create a very livable 2 bedroom duplex down, while keeping the vintage charm of 100+ year old tin ceilings and original old growth maple floors. The main floor is the primary living space with kitchen, dining area, living room and bathroom. Even though AirBnB describes the bathroom as 1.5 baths, it is not the normal American definition of a bath and a half. The toilet has its own dedicated room with a door, and the shower / sink is in a separate room with a door. Thus you can enter each independently, but there is physically only one toilet in the apartment. For whatever reason AirBnB calls this 1.5 baths. The lower level has two private bedrooms, an office nook, and laundry room. In homage to the buildings history as an artist's home and workshop, I have commissioned a display of Chicago themed prints from local photographers.
Steve was a great host and his air bnb was lovely!! He was so kind and even met us at the air bnb for check in and gave us a little tour. The location is great too!!
We had a great time in Chicago! We didn’t spend a ton of time in the AirBnB because we wanted to see as much as we could of the city, but the beds were very comfortable, as was the couch and living spaces, after a long day of walking the city! Parking was incredibly easy and Steve was very nice to meet us as the door and give us a tour of the place and some local recommendations. There is a bus stop right on the corner and the walk to the blue line wasn’t far. It is mostly residential, so you have to walk or catch the bus/train to restaurants. But it was all very doable and no problem for us! The bathroom set up is nice because the toilet is in its own room, separate from the HUGE jet tub/rainfall shower. Very clean, nicely decorated, close to public transit, easy parking, cute neighborhood! It checks all the boxes! We did not use the kitchen, but it was very nicely stocked with leftover supplies from other guests and appeared to have all utensils and gadgets you’d need!
This place was awesome, maybe my favorite Airbnb I've ever stayed in. great location, really cool aesthetic, very comfortable, and Steve was very good to us. would highly recommend! I will definitely stay here again if I'm back in Chicago!
Awesome spot, great communication, easy check in and stay. Would definitely stay again.
Bucktown and Wicker Park are two of the best neighborhoods in Chicago for food and drinks. There are countless places to explore along Damen avenue, both North and South of Armitage, just 2 blocks away.
Transportation is easy, as a bus stop that is located just 100 feet away will quickly take you to the Blue Line train that connects to O'Hare airport.
Also two blocks to the South is Chicago's new '606' walk / bike trail, similar to New York's High Line. It offers nearly 3 miles of elevated paths traversing 5 different Chicago neighborhoods. It is a must see for any visitor to our neighborhood!
