Our family of 4 stayed here recently for close to a week and found the experience great! The apartment was roomy, comfortable, well-appointed (the kitchen is fantastic), and really felt like home. In fact it was hard to drag ourselves out of the apartment each morning and we really looked forward to coming back there each night after our sightseeing. The location in Lincoln Park was so convenient, close to many good restaurants and within walking distance of the El. It's a great way to experience the city. We love Chicago and intend to return for our 3rd visit in the future and will certainly book here again.

Dear Jim and Yanan Haring,

We have been enjoying our stay very much at your China Doll III (Garden Unit). We salute your elegant taste of interior decoration. The cozy atmosphere has created a warm ‘home away from home’ in this cold winter in Chicago. The spacious kitchen, the fireplace and the Jacuzzi are our favorites.

Many thanks for your prompt response and detailed attention to all our requests and queries. Your high service standards and professionalism are second to none. We would really like to revisit China Doll in our next stay in Chicago.

Best regards,


Sindi & Haryanto (Indonesia)

Absolutely worth every penny. We had four children and two dogs in the middle of a Chicago winter and it was wonderful to return home to two fireplaces and a steam room after a run. Great location, minutes away from the lake and downtown. Safe neighborhood and wonderful hosts! Best vacation ever.

We have been staying in China Doll properties for more than two years now, three times in total, every time we visit Chicago. Apart from the homely atmosphere and extremely well run guest house that we learned to take for granted, Jim and Yanan endeavor to meet our every wish,however unusual. Well located and supplied, there is no better place to stay in Chicago.

  • Liked — Well organised and supplied, great location
  • Disliked — Too many owners' personal decorations getting in the way of our own belongings
