About this apartment rental
Located in Evanston, just a short walk from Central Street’s Business District and Lake Michigan’s scenic beaches, The Arnold is a bright, character-filled two-bedroom apartment with an additional office / TV den / guest room that offers both flexibility and charm.
Set on the third floor of the building, The Arnold is filled with natural light and soulful personality. Soft light and vibrant colors mix with antique furnishings and eclectic art, taking you back to an apartment built nearly a century ago — yet fully updated with the modern conveniences of today.
One of the original bedrooms has been thoughtfully reimagined as a multi-purpose office and media room, complete with a convertible sofa that comfortably sleeps two — ideal for remote work, movie nights, or overnight guests.
Unwind in the garden below, stroll to nearby restaurants and shops, or explore Evanston’s bike paths, jogging trails, and lakefront parks. Inside, you’ll enjoy a fully equipped kitchen, in-unit laundry, and all the details that make long stays easy and enjoyable.
If you’re visiting Chicago’s North Shore, you’ll be close to Northwestern University, Evanston Hospital, Rotary International, and nearby lakefront communities like Wilmette, Kenilworth, Winnetka, Glencoe, and Highland Park. The Metra and Purple Line stations are only a short walk away, connecting you quickly to the best of Chicago.
NOTE: We require a one-month minimum stay if you wish to book more than two months before the arrival date.

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
Our family of four stayed at John's place for a week. We needed somewhere close to Northwestern, so the location was perfect. Loved that it was also close walking distance to a few restaurants and shops. We really enjoyed Backlot coffee in the morning. The condo itself was very cozy and very spacious and creatively decorated. The last few days of our stay it got pretty hot outside, but the AC window units kept the condo very cool and comfortable. John is a very responsive host. He would respond right away if we had any questions or concerns. Street parking was easy and always available for the duration of our stay. Just watch the no parking signs, as there are specific times where parking is restricted due to street cleaning. Also, this unit is on the top floor of a 4 unit condo building. So, make sure you can manage the stairs.Overall, a very comfortable stay. Would totally rent here again should we need a space in Evanston.

The experience was amazing! The house was very beautiful and clean. John is very thoughtful about the comfort of who stays there and has provided every amenity one could need. My family and I loved the stay and would recommend it to everyone! I will definitely visit again if I can!

5.0 / 10.0·Oct 2016
We have spent two and a half months in John and Amy's apartment, first in Casita Reva and then the Arnold. Everything was magical; the neighborhood, the apartments, the location of the house and the hospitality of John and Amy. We will definetly return back to Harrison Evanston. Thanks for making our summer unforgettable and thanks for making us feel home in Evanston.
