Cinquante nuances de greige

Summary:

I’m an interior designer and longtime Superhost who believes you deserve better than scratchy sheets and a suspicious futon. Everything here was chosen with intention—and a sense of humor. From the agressive use of floral fabric to the 'difficult at best' painting above the desk, this space is a little odd, very clean, and designed to feel like someone with great taste lives here. (Because, well, sometimes they do.)



The Space:

10 takeaways for people who don’t have the patience to read my ramblings

(but still deserve a very nice place to stay)



• Sleeps 4 (1 King / 1 Queen bed)

• Full kitchen + fast Wi-Fi

• Shower with (occasionally moody but mostly good) water pressure

• Professionally cleaned by people who care deeply and would benefit from other hobbies

• AWESOME street, 10-minute stroll to the Brown Line / around the corner from Wrigley Field

• First floor unit in a vintage building (quirks included, free of charge)

• Hosted by a creative human, managed by professionals who actually pick up the phone

• Thoughtful touches, compelling art

• 24/7 phone support after booking

•The towels are nice and the bath products aren’t from a gas station. You’ll be fine



You’re getting the best of both worlds here: I get to be your friendly, creative host—sharing local tips and a well-loved space—without also being the person scrubbing behind the toilet. (You're welcome.) That’s because I’ve partnered with a top-tier management team to handle logistics and cleaning, so you get both thoughtful design and professional support.



You'll find soft, nice sheets (not the nylon nightmares other hosts offer up), good pillows, a good mattress, thick towels, and Public Goods bath products. I also keep you stocked with coffee and a few small extras to make mornings feel less like punishment.



This is a vintage Chicago building with the quirks to prove it: this space is pretty much the same as it was in 1909 and has a true Chicago apartment vibe. First floor level....yes, you may spot the occasional rogue cobweb despite my excellent cleaning team. But if you’re into character, comfort, and staying somewhere that doesn’t feel like an abused IKEA showroom... welcome home.



There are 7 steps up into the unit, so it’s not great for guests with limited mobility. And yes, it's inside of a 120-year-old building, so you will hear footsteps above. But also: you'll sleep well here. It’s quiet for being in the city. It’s comfy with big windows and just enough alarmingly turquoise paint to make it have an opinion.
