We loved our stay at Magnolia Studios. The apartment was lovely and VERY competitively priced. It's less than a quarter mile from the Bryn Mawr Red Line station, so getting anywhere in the city is very easy. The host was very helpful and responsive. Next time we visit Chicago, we'll plan to stay at Magnolia again.

A pleasant place to stay. The studio was clean and had all the necessary amenities. Loads of towels and an endless supply of bottled water. Busses and trains within a few minutes walk of the property. Really good, I would stay there again.

Lovely, lovely studio in Andersonville. My daughter lives nearby and the location was perfect. Clean, quiet and cozy and nicely equipped with everything you would ever need. I’ve stayed in many air bnb’s in chicago and this by far was the nicest.

This studio was absolutely charming, very well-appointed, and in a great neighborhood for catching the L or a bus downtown or to the Northwestern Campus. (It's also in the same neighborhood as Loyola.) Very easy check in/check out, and very clean and comfortable.

Quiet studio in Edgewater neighborhood. Room was very comfortable, clean and cozy. Little thing, but loved and appreciated having unlimited bottled water. Walking distance to Lake Michigan beaches, Chicago Mosaic School, restaurants. New-- takeout from Sfera Scilcilan Street Food at Victoria and Broadway is out of this world!

Loved the Magnolia Studios. Wonderful studio in an awesome Chicago neighborhood. We stayed here because our son had a GUS Dance school intensive week. The studio is about a 20-25 minute walk to Andersonville and the GUS studio. Our son is college age and could walk there and back by himself. The neighborhood is quiet and close to the Red Line which allowed us to go anywhere in Chicago. The beach at the lake is a nice walk and fun as well. Kate and her husband are wonderful hosts. We had lots of amenities and all we needed. The home is charming with a lovely garden. Always a pleasure to come and go. Next time we go to Chicago we will definitely stay at the Magnolia Studios. Check out their website for more information. We did not need a car. We just took ride share from Ohare. Public transportation in Chicago is its’ own adventure. :)…

Magnolia Studios is in the Edgewater neighborhood of Chicago, just two blocks from my daughter! My immaculate room was on the second floor and is very well-appointed with a mini-kitchen, table and chairs, and a comfy chair. You look out onto the owner's gorgeous garden. I kind of don't want to spread the word about this gem, but am recommending it to all visiting family members and my not-easy-to-impress daughter was blown away by how nice this place is. Highly recommended.

My husband and I were in Chicago for a wedding and Magnolia Studios was one of the recommendations for places to stay. Although it was further north than the venues we attended, it was easy to get on Lake Shore Drive and get downtown. The renovated carriage house was behind a beautifully restored home on a quiet residential street. We were able to park in a small public lot just around the corner which was convenient. We walked through a lovely garden area to get to the studio which was clean and very cozy. Although small, the room had everything we needed and more supplies (water bottles, coffee, towels, etc.) were available for us to help ourselves. The area is very walkable which was great for down time and we were able to walk to dinner, breakfast, and to the lakeshore. We felt in the neighborhood and would definitely stay here again.…

I stayed in the Magnolia Studios over the past weekend. I lived in Chicago for several years and didn't know this place even existed. We really wanted to stay in the Andersonville area - and this was a fabulous surprise. Small and quaint - but everything you need if you're interested in activities north of downtown. We still were able to Uber down to the loop easily, but spent much of our time nearby. Katie is super nice and 10/10 on communication. There is a little garden between the house and the studios to sit and relax if you'd like (we did so while enjoying a little coffee). Walking to nearby restaurants/shops is easy...highly recommend M. Henry for breakfast, by the way.
