Unfortunately, a random storm knocked out the power, so we couldn't stay here. However, the host had no issue providing a full refund. We did see the home and it seemed like it would have been a comfortable stay if we had power. I would be happy to rent again in the future if I were looking to stay in the area.

This place was great! The decor was awesome. Host responded quickly and the staff at the cafe and bar were so sweet and welcoming! Definitely will recommend to anyone looking for something close to the city 😊

What a beautiful and cozy place to stay! Lacy was a great host—communication was quick and clear. The neighborhood felt very safe, and easy overnight parking. The location was super convenient for getting to all the places we needed to visit. The home is full of charm and artistic touches. We had such a pleasant stay and would definitely love to come back!

Our family of five stayed here for a quick visit to Chicago. We loved the neighborhood and the ease of getting to and from the city. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful apartment, with a vintage touch. It has everything you need to live there. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare your meal. Very comfortable and quiet. We enjoyed 7 days there. The neighborhood is quiet. The bar and cafe downstairs are beautiful, and the music is great.

Rob & Lacy’s Songbird Suite definitely exceeded my expectations - it was perfect for me! Great location for my needs, coffee downstairs in the morning, drinks in the bar at night, the friendliest people I’ve ever met. The artistic, music-themed decor suited me to a “T.” From the moment I arrived I was welcomed like a friend, and by the time I left I was sad to leave my “Friendly Community.” Prospective renters should be aware that there are formidable stairs to reach the apartment. Also, there IS traffic noise from the busy road, but that did not bother me, although it might not suit some people. As an older woman traveling alone, I always felt completely safe, even walking in the neighborhood. All in all, I could not have found a better place to stay during my visit to the Chicago area. Because of its proximity to my son’s apartment, I can’t imagine staying anywhere else and I can’t wait to stay with Rob and Lacy again!

Location was perfect for our trip, Walking distance to FitzGerald’s to see a few concerts. Plenty of great dining options in the area. The attached bar and coffee shop was a great place to hang out. Also only a 10 minute walk to the Blue Line if you want to go to the city. The space was clean and as described and met all of our needs. Would not hesitate to rebook this space for future trips to the area!

I had a really good stay at the Songbird Suite. I came in expecting to have a noisy apartment, far away from downtown, as the trade off for having a relatively affordable unit with no roommates. But to my surprise, I actually almost never dealt with the noise that the description warns about. I did come in the summer, so perhaps the bar downstairs is busier during other times of the year. But I only heard noise coming from it twice, well before sleeping hours, and even then it was faint. Everything else was really good and the apartment was very clean when I arrived, with a fun yet homey feel. The one issue I had was the AC was broken when I arrived, but Lacy and Rob got it looked at and fixed in two days. I honestly think the whole situation is a testament to them being very diligent. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

My husband and I attended some shows at Fitzgerald's and staying here was so convenient, only 2 blocks away. The Songbird apartment was super cute, clean and the owners were great. They were quick to respond to any messages and provided recommendations to some great restaurants. The Friendly community was also great with live music in both the Friendly bar and Coffee shop. We felt very welcome and the staff was very "friendly". We will definitely stay here again and can't wait to have a reason to come back.
