The place is nice and clean. Public transportation is very close by so you can hop on CTA and visit McCormick Place and Downtown with ease. We loved the neighborhood and the architecture too. My wife says that it probably beats Baltimore’s.

Such a cute and homey place!! Me and my partner absolutely adored staying here. Area is nice and about a 10-15 minute walk from the green line which takes us right into the city. The host was super communicative and direct with instructions which was much appreciated. The environment was so cozy and welcoming. Definitely recommend.

Great stay in Bronzeville

The property was as advertised. We had a private apartment with easy access and no hassles. The neighborhood was very clean and quiet. We parked right outside and there was always space. The location is very accessabe by public transportation. The # 3 King Drive and # 4 Cottage Grove buses go to downtown Michigan Ave. The "el" is an easy walk to either the 43rd Street station or 40th & Indiana station. The Lakefront is close by and great for walks and biking.White Sox Park is only two miles and McCormick place is one exit down Lakeshore Drive. Hyde Park is also close. The area is primarily residential bot there were a few nearby restaurants notably the Bronzeville Winery on Cottage Grove and Truth Italian on Pershing (39th) for breakfast. I will stay here again. Access to Chicago is easy.

Very cozy and clean with convenient Lyft & Uber services during our stay. Perfect location if you’re in Chicago for events along the Lake Shore. Very pet friendly! Our pets are crate trained so plenty of room to accommodate even though it’s one bedroom. Lots of grass area for walks right outside Toca Bella. DoorDash options in the neighborhood are extremely fast and delicious, and parking was a breeze! Check in/out was almost too easy-very helpful. We would definitely stay again, and hope other people enjoy this gem as much as we did!

Good location - close to the lake with a great walking path (awesome for pets), a grocery store with Starbucks, and 15 min from downtown…plenty of parking spaces.
