Fitness-friendly vacation rentals in North Side

This was a great Airbnb. 7 of us stayed here comfortably (4 adults, 3 kids). The instructions to get into the parking lot, into the building & into our rental itself were clear step-by-step and included pictures. So helpful. The apartment was so clean. The bathrooms smelled of bleach and had clearly been well cleaned. The bedrooms were a good size and very clean. The huge windows and beautiful view of the city was a major bonus. This apt felt very safe, inside a secure building with staff at the front desk. This apt is so close to Grant Park, tons of restaurants and a very short Uber to the museum campus as well. Plus, Target like 1-2 blocks away in case you need anything! Overall, we had a great stay & this Airbnb is definitely a great find. The only (very small) complaint we had is maybe not quite enough towels. We had to reuse 2 for the kids. Some additional ‘extra’ blankets/throws would be nice also, as we always seem to be a little chilly in rentals.

I needed a local place to stay while my apartment was being renovated, and this spot was perfect – homey and very clean! The unit I stayed in was slightly different from the photos, but the decor and layout were similar (as noted in the listing). It's located in a quieter part of River North but still super convenient, with Whole Foods, CVS, and plenty of restaurants within walking distance. I’d definitely stay here again!

This was an amazing experience. The host was extremely communicative and responsive. The room was as advertised and the location was more than ideal. I will be booking future visits with this host.

Excellent location with good food and entertainment at hand. Easy access to the CBD and cultural attractions. The place was as advertised. The host was responsive and helpful.

Great stay. I was there for the marathon. So easy to get to the subway. Awesome apartment. Thanks!

Pros: Amazing location! Easy to find free street parking 🤩 Comfortable bed! Cons: Bring earplugs or sound machine. The hallway can get loud with dogs barking, people talking and doors slamming. We would totally stay again!

We enjoyed our stay at Sergii’s place, Sergii is a great host, very helpful and proactive. The place matched the pictures. The parking spot is a great perk in Chicago.

Lovely spacious apartment, we were in Chicago for the marathon and this place was perfect. Travelling downtown was really easy on the blue line. Great host and great communication, thank you!

Very comfortable bed, we did not use the kitchen but it was very roomy. Jay immediately responded and gave us a new code when we couldn’t open the door. The WiFi needed to be reset but it did not affect us, since we were up and out early, and returned late. The parking permits were very comfortable convenient.

We enjoyed a nice stay at this home; overall, it had all of the things we were looking for when planning a trip to Chicago. The nearby Garfield Park Conservatory was a lovely place to visit; while not originally on our list of stops to make, I am so glad we did!

I liked the place. Just that the reception is not always available. Although they're not needed always, yet at time when we need to drop off the parking key card etcetera, it's hard to wait for them to show up despite waiting for about 20-30 minutes. Otherwise. It's a great place hosted by a decent host.

I try to stay here every time I am in Chicago. The place is beautiful, the location is awesome, and the hosts are absolute angels. This past weekend they could not have been more accommodating and responsive. I had a weather-related travel snafu and first they let me leave late, then allowed me to stay another night, then let me keep my bags at their place while we explored the city after check-out before leaving for our nighttime flight. Letting us do all that would be more than enough but every time I contacted them they got back to me within 5 minutes at most which really took a load off my mind. They could not be better hosts.

Curtis' place was perfect! Being our first time in town, the place was pretty much central to anything we wanted to check out. Lots of variety of good local food nearby. Place was clean and well decorated with a chill vibe, felt right at home. Lots of of cool art, good selection of reading. Curtis was highly communicative. Would stay again!

I have stayed at one of Briana’s places numerous times. They never disappoint. She is a great host and always responsive if I ever need anything. This condo is very clean quiet, and cozy. I highly recommend.

Great place to stay if you visit your daughter or son at Northwestern. The apartment is modern, clean, comfortable, super quiet, walkable distance from commodities. The communication with Mihyun was flawlessly, proactive, helpful. She offered flexibility on check in/out time as well as responsive advice on the surroundings. Thank you, Michelle

Great host! Very responsive and helpful. The entire trip was a breeze.

This home was amazing. The photos are great but when I got to the home, I was wowed! Huge and cozy and it made me and my partner feel welcome and right at home. I tend to be anal with cleanliness and this home totally met my expectations...it still has that new home feeling. Lori was super responsive...she answered all of my questions and even allowed me to have a late checkout for my birthday. This was a wonderful staycation for me. Thank you so much Lori...I truly appreciate it! I definitely recommend this home to others to stay!

Oak Park is one of our favorite neighborhoods in Chicagoland. The floor to ceiling windows enhance the large living room and kitchen. Bedrooms are on the smaller size but still very comfortable. Perfect location for shops/restaurants & trains (L and Metra). You will hear trains if you open the windows but not if closed.

Great family friendly location. Kids loved the game room. Clean and comfortable with a responsive host.

Sydney was great and super helpful! The house was cozy and exactly what we wanted for our friends trip to Chicago! Would definitely stay here again!

We had our mini wedding at this home and it was perfect for us! Everything was great and the host was very communicative and understanding.

I had a fantastic stay! The place was beautifully furnished, well put together, and looked exactly like the pictures. The vibe was great, and everything exceeded my expectations—I highly recommend it and would definitely stay again!

Patty was very helpful and the place was nicely kept. I would recommend.

Great location, clean and most important affordable.
