Our first priority was to visit our son in Chicago, however, the location of this little gem made getting downtown a breeze. Located in a fun neighborhood with shops, resturants and close by parks. If you are looking for a quiet place that has lots of personality this is it. The owner is very low key and provides a nice... More

My husband and I loved Chicago and our stay at City Scene! We had fantastic fall weather, which always helps, but even in inclement weather this B&B/apartment would be a cozy spot to take shelter. It is conveniently located on a quiet street and only a few blocks to 3 different CTA lines. We even took the "L" in from... More

The location is fantastic; within walking distance to many great Lincoln Park restaurants and entertainment venues, not to mention the El with direct access to downtown Chicago tourist attractions.

Relax in the cosy living room after an evening out, and use the gas fireplace if you're chilly. The bedroom is small, but complete,... More

I enjoyed an extended-stay at this lovely place, which is a private suite with one bedroom close to DePaul University’s central campus. Actually, it’s bigger than some of the apartments where I have lived! First off, everything was really clean. It is nicely decorated, with all amenities I could need for my trip. Apart from the bedroom, it has a... More

Mary, the owner, was very helpful in providing us what we needed. This two bedroom private apartment was very quaint and perfect for what my boyfriend and sister needed in our recent visit to Chicago. The location is great and convienent for train//bus/taxi.
