If you need the space, just ask us to reserve it solely for you. We operate on a first come first serve basis. You can also reserve both floors for a full buyout and total reign of the property.
*If you are staying for a weekend, we need to limit your reservation to one night only so the other group has the opportunity to enjoy the space as well.
Our concierge will reach out upon your booking to see if you need help with any special requests such as stocking the fridge, helping load in your items, or help with booking a private chef for a special dinner at the property.
Wicker Park has everything you could ever want including the best restaurants, parks, shopping, and neighborhood vibes! We are across from Jeni`s ice cream, Sweetgreen and behind us is the park. Shops steps from your front door are Free People, Urban Outfitters, Adidas, Stan`s Donuts, Una Mae`s, Foxtrot, Rapha, P.45, Buffalo Exchange, Ragstock, Kokorokoko, other vintage stores and finds, the list goes on...

We recommend Uber or Lyft for taxi service right from your doorstep.
The Blue Line L stop (North/Damen/Milwaukee) is one swift block away and only 10 minutes to downtown or 30 minutes to the airport.
We may have two parking spots available for you onsite for an additional $35/space per night. If you are interested in this option, please let us know to reserve for you as it is based on a first come first serve basis.
This is a property located on the second floor walkup with one flight of stairs.
The property is located in the heart of bustling Wicker Park and walking distance to public transportation. There will be city & train noise, and we provide sound machines and earplugs for your comfort.
O`Hare Airport is just a 20 minute commute. The
Milwaukee/Damen/North Blue Line train is a 1 block walk away from the unit making your commute an absolute breeze.
Thank you for booking with us! Please read through our House Rules below:
For security reasons, we ask that you share a photo ID upon booking.
The number of people on the property should match the number on your reservation. If you’re planning to invite extra guests, let us know at least 24 hours before they show up.
Please respect the check-in and checkout times listed in your reservation—unless you’ve already worked out a different plan with us ahead of time.
Need an earlier check-in or a later check-out? We got you! Just keep in mind, we can only confirm this 24-48 hours before your arrival, as it depends on the guests checking in or out before/after you. But here’s what’s available:
10 AM Early Check-in = $300
1 PM Early Check-in = $200
1 PM Late Check-out = $200
4 PM Late Check-out = $300
Parking:
Heads up: No parking spaces are included with any Chicago rentals. We have 2 parking spots available on-site for $35 per night. These spots are hotter than a downtown coffee shop, so they’re first come, first served—get in early, or risk the street!
For the adventurous parkers, we’ll send you a map of free nearby parking two weeks before your check-in. You’ll find this treasure map in your digital guidebook. Check out the SpotHero app for additional paid reserved parking in the area.
One last thing: BANGTEL is not liable for parking tickets, towing, or any damage. So, park smart and read the signs! Oh, and parking fees are non-refundable—because once your car’s parked, it’s part of the family.
Patio Backyard:
The back patio is a shared space between Aloha and Aloha 2.0—think of it as a peaceful hangout spot where everyone’s invited! Want the patio all to yourselves? No problem! Just ask us to reserve it for you, or go big and book both floors for the ultimate Aloha takeover. It’s free to reserve, but just remember, it’s first come, first served—so snag it early if you can.
Furry Friends & Service Animals:
Pets stay with us for FREE! (Yep, you read that right—no extra charge for your four-legged buddy!) Please just let us know if you’re bringing along your furry friend, so we can ensure everything is all set.
We love your furry pals, but they need to be house-trained before they check in. (No one wants an impromptu “indoor water feature” on the rug.)
Our beds and couches are super comfy, but we kindly ask your pet to respect the boundaries.
Please scoop up after your pets and we kindly request that they not be left unattended.
If your pet does decide to redecorate with some furniture damage or starts a neighborhood concert (aka noisy complaints), we’ll have to ask you to foot the bill for repairs.
Cleanup:
Please leave the property in the same condition as when you arrived.
Dispose of all trash in the correct receptacles outside (they’re clearly marked, so no need to guess). If you use the wrong one, you might discover an unexpected fine.
Leave furniture where you found it or move it back if you do.
Before you go, turn off all lights, shut windows, and lock the doors. Think of it like tucking the house in for the night.
Smoking:
SMOKING IS NOT ALLOWED INSIDE THE PROPERTY. There’s a $1,000 charge if you’re caught smoking indoors or if we can still smell last night’s smoke after you’ve checked out (we’re very sensitive like that and the next guests checking in may be too). Feel free to light up outside, but be a good sport and please dispose of your cigarette butts properly. Let’s keep the property looking and smelling fresh. We appreciate you!
Party Glitter + Confetti:
PARTY GLITTER OR CONFETTI IS NOT ALLOWED. Sure, glitter and confetti are the life of the party, but they’re also the nightmare of cleanup. It’s like trying to catch a rainbow in a vacuum cleaner.
If you bring glitter or confetti inside the property (or anywhere on the premises), we’ll charge you a $250 fee. Consider it a `glitter tax` for making us battle with tiny sparkly bits for days.
Photoshoots:
No professional photos or videos allowed without BANGTEL’s prior written permission. We love a good Insta moment, but if you’re planning to turn the property into your personal photo studio, please give us a heads up first! Make sure to let us know before booking or right after, and we`ll let you know if special rates, fees, or conditions apply.
If a photo or video shoot happens without our approval, we’ll charge a fee at our discretion. Not sure if your photography is a professional shoot? Don’t worry, we’re happy to review your work! We promise we’re more lenient than magazine editor, but we still need to know what’s going on behind the lens.
Special Occasions:
Planning to host an event, like a wedding, corporate function, bridal party, or any shindig involving guests not listed in your reservation? Well, unless you`re planning a surprise `Party of the Year` with us as your co-host, you’ll need prior written permission from BANGTEL. No impromptu events—this isn’t the venue for a flash mob, no matter how fun that sounds!
Additional fees apply for hosting special occasions, so let us know in advance and we’ll work out the details. We love a good celebration, but we also love keeping property in tip-top shape.
Be a Good Neighbor:
Please respect the other tenants and neighbors—after all, we`re all in this together. No noise in or around the property (including hallways and common areas), and please keep your music at a level that doesn’t make the neighbors think they’ve accidentally wandered into a concert.
After 10 p.m., let’s keep the volume low enough to hear the crickets, not the bass.
Bunk Beds:
Heads up—this unit may contain bunk beds, and while they’re perfect for feeling like a kid again, they do come with a little responsibility. By using the bunk beds, you agree to hold the host harmless for any damage or injury caused by your daring, gravity-defying moves.
Aloha Bathtub in Primary Bedroom Ensuite Bathroom:
As much as we wish we could let you sink into the large, inviting blue bathtub in the primary bedroom ensuite, it’s actually for decorative purposes ONLY—no splashing around, sorry!
Please, do not run the water (as tempting as it may be to channel your inner mermaid).
Also, this tub has a weight limit of 250 lbs. So, while it’s perfect for admiring, it’s not built for a full-on soak session with all your friends. Let’s leave it as the beautiful bath decor it was meant to be!
Long term Stays (30 days or longer) may require an additional security deposit that will be returned after your checkout as well as payment for cleaning during your stay.
