About this property
Magic Factory Loft 3East 4 Bd/4 Ba Families Groups
Our bright spacious 4 bedroom sleeps up to 14 - 16 guests in super comfy Sealy Posturepedic beds.
For those groups where everyone wants their own bed, this place is ideal for up to 12 guests)
Four full bathrooms each have a walk in glass enclosed shower, a meticulously stocked chef's kitchen with all of the accouterments that go with such a kitchen, a dining table that truly seats the same number of guests the apartment sleeps - this is THE home away from home you want for your stay in Chicago.
Bachelor & Bachelorette groups love our space - but note that as live in owner's we're pretty particular about welcoming only the best behaved, so if your group is looking for a beautiful, comfortable space, and especially if you imagine sitting together around the dining table over a dinner or brunch together (we can even suggest local caterers) - we are THE vacation rental for you! **If you're a group that's coming ONLY to bar hop and party all night - we might not be the space for you.... (we're a family friendly building and aren't keen on lots of drunken guests stumbling in at 3 AM ;-( **
Please note the frontline rate shown on some listing sites is for our minimum number of guests and may not include EXTRA guest fees or taxes or the housekeeping fee. Your final quote will include those totals.
If you're heading to Chicago and looking to be near downtown but want a more neighborhood experience with friendly, knowledgeable transcontinental hosts, our amazing, bright and sunny 1800 square foot loft just might be the perfect fit for you.
We are always there for you! Communication prior to arrival, at check-in, and through check-out is handled through a private WhatsApp chat group that we set up for your stay. Because we do not have a front desk and coordinate arrivals in real time, participation in this group by at least one arriving guest is required so we can ensure you are met promptly and not left waiting if plans change. For larger non-family groups, we may ask that multiple guests be included—this helps avoid delays and allows our team to respond quickly throughout your stay. This ensures a smooth arrival and a great experience for everyone.
Please note that the person making the reservation must be part of the traveling group and present at check-in. Third-party bookings are not permitted without prior approval. The primary guest staying at the property is required to sign our rental agreement and provide a government-issued photo ID prior to arrival. As we do not have a front desk, direct real-time communication with at least one arriving guest is required on the day of arrival to coordinate check-in. We typically use WhatsApp for this, as it allows our team to respond quickly if arrival times change.

We had a wonderful long weekend in Chicago at the Magic Factory Lofts! We were we welcomed and shown everything we would need at the Loft and in the surrounding area. Our hosts were extremely responsive and the accommodations were comfortable and clean! We loved not having to strip the beds. :)
The Loft is well laid out for large groups, especially when everyone needs their own bed. Check-in and check-out is easy, and the hosts are communicative / flexible with early/late check-in/out. If any issues arise, they're prompt communicators.
The location was perfect and had a great view of the city skyline. Carole and the rest of Magic lofts were great in accommodating us and helping with an easy check in / check out process.
Carole went above and beyond during check-in to make sure we understood everything. The location was ideal and the space is great to entertain groups of 10-14 in size. I would highly recommend staying at the magic factory.
The experience we had was top notch. It was clean, had everything you need to cook your meals, plenty of space for lots of people and having 4 bathrooms was really nice. They were helpful and provided lots of information about the area. Would most certainly stay there again.
A group of 9 HS buddies converged in Chicago from all over the country, explored Chicago from this base camp! Perfect, everybody had their own bed with a wonderful great room to gather both morning and night while planning the days activities! Central location to walk to many places was key. Great hosts!
Hosts were extremely accommodating, went above and and beyond to meet our requests. We were allowed to store our luggage before check-in and after check-out. Property was spotless and the location was great for exploring Chicago. Rare combination of providing plenty of space for the entire family to spend time together and providing private bedrooms and bathrooms. We loved our stay.
This property was perfect for our stay. Two families (9 adults & 2 children) with room to spare. Walking distance to neighborhood shopping, restaurants and the market. Proximity to train station or a quick Uber made getting downtown easy. Carole was a great communicator from booking, providing a local guide book, suggestions on where to eat and walking me through the check-in process. Everyone in out group had an all around great experience with our stay.
A couple of things made this the ideal place for our group of 11.
The apartment itself was very clean and easy to access. Close to a good coffee shop and Whole Foods, among other places. Bus stops and train stations were close. We shared rooms, but no one had to share a bed. Plus the apartment has a good view of the skyline!
I would definitely book again!
Such a cool property. Plenty of room with all the amenities. Close by to all the major attractions. We were joking whenever anyone asked far something was “15 minutes lol!”. Carole and Basil are wonderful hosts and addressed any questions quickly. Perfect weekend with our besties in one of the best cities on the world!
We were a family group with wide ranging ages. Apartment 3East was great for our group. Well-equipped and a very good location. The balcony got a lot of use for relaxing and chatting. We ate out at local restaurants-Vinci, Blue Door Farm Stand and a Mexican restaurant close by. All good. Would highly recommend MF Lofts.
I chose this property because it is one of very few that offers enough beds and space for 12 adults. Basil and Carole we’re very open when it came to helping whoever got there first with check in (it wasn’t me) and they were also very clear about the layout and rules. My friends and I gathered for a 3 night run of a concert and had brought a speaker for daytime listening... Basil ensured that if the music was too loud, they would send a message or knock to let us know, instead of finding out afterward, which I appreciated. We were also unsure how many people would be staying and the hosts were kind enough to let us wait to know for sure before paying the extra person fee so that we didn’t overpay for guests if they didn’t show up. Basil also came over and helped us with the oven when we couldn’t figure that out and periodically checked in with a message to ensure our time at their place was going smoothly. I was a little worried about how it would go being in a space where the owners live on site, with 12 adults, but it wasn’t an issue. We didn’t feel too “contained” and felt very cared for with Basil and Carole. Parking on the street was fine, it’s a great neighborhood and I didn’t experience any issues there. The apartment had everything we needed and more. Plenty of towels/pillows/blankets. The space was well decorated and had the best view I’ve ever had whilst staying in Chicago. 10/10 would recommend for any, respectable, large group!
Our group got together to celebrate for a bachelorette party and we had a great time at the Magic Factory. It was exactly what we needed for the weekend with plenty of room for a large group.

Absolutely beautiful in a terrific location
Our large family has stayed in many different places in Chicago over Thanksgiving and no place comes close to Carole's apartment in terms of its beauty, location, and amenities. We hope to come back every year!
Staying with Carole and basil was incredible! They were very communicative the entire stay and the property was better than expected! We’ll definitely be back!
My friends and I were here for a bachelor party. All the previous reviews are on point, this place is awesome. Great amount of space, plenty of room to sleep 10+ people, conveniently located, secure building - it was exactly what we needed. The team operating the rental is very responsive as well. I would stay here again!
