Spacious and comfortable. Close access to downtown.Temperature control is offsite requiring email communication to have it adjusted. Unit was chilly during our stay. Easy communication with host but it seemed to return to base temperature each day and didn't want to have to email continually to get it to a more comfortable temperature.

Nice stay near the big city

My friend and i stayed at this listing to explore the Windy City and to see a speaker in Near North. We found the proximity to the 'L' made it very easy to travel to take in some local sights. We found a few things in the rental not quite up to par but the overall stay was a positive one. We would consider booking this listing in the future.

Comfortable basement apartment in great location

Me and my sons were in town for a football game and enjoyed our stay in this comfortable basement apartment. Oak Park is a great little suburb of Chicago with a great selections of restaurants and nearby shopping. The hosts were easy to communicate with when our code to get in the apartment didn’t work. World recommend this place for smaller parties 3-4 people and would stay here again.

Great neighborhood, spacious lodgings

We really enjoyed the neighborhood, and enjoyed the additional touches of q-tips, razors, and cream for the coffee. The reason I'm leaving 4 stars instead of 5 is a couple small things. 1, there is no light in the entry stairwell, which is very hard to navigate at Bobby

Cozy place right outside of big city!

Our party of 2 adults, 2 teens, and one child felt comfortable during our 5 night stay. Had a fenced in back yard and beautiful quiet neighborhood perfect for our chihuahua too. Very short walks to nearby grocery, cafe, restaurants, bank, and tram station. We enjoyed riding tram to downtown Chicago. Bnb provided towels, dishes, and plenty of other amenities for our stay. We enjoyed our stay and didnt want to go home!

Nice stay, didn’t like the neighbors very rude, loud stomping and I had to be quiet even on weekends didn’t appreciate the approach of any of it! I’m on vacation and barley got to be in the home due to complaints of conversations or laughing we did

Oak Park, IL Apartment

The only issue was with the toilet and air conditioner. The toilet needs to be fixed and the air conditioner was on so high that it was uncomfortable (too cold). The temperatures outside were not hot during the time of our stay. So, it didn't seem necessary for it to be so cold inside the apartment. The owner was very kind at turning it down but shared that it cooled the entire building. So, it couldn't be turned completely off. He controled the air conditioner. It took effort to get the toilet to flush that required me to remove the lid and lift something for it to flush.

Chicago

This was a very nice place to stay. About two blocks from the L We used the L once and drove into Chicago once. Nice neighbor hood. Restaurants and small store nearby. Apartment very clean, Has everything. Once some suggestion for us vertically challenged person, it was hard to reach the dishes in the very nice kitchen. A foot stool would be helpful! Nice parking spot.

Convenient location if you are visiting friends in Oak Park. Close to transit, restaurants, grocery, has a parking spot. It was ok clean, had dog hair. No cover sheet on the bed, and found some damp ones in the closet. No temperature control in the room, which is troublesome.

Comfortable and convenient

Great apartment! Perfect for 2 adults and 2 teens. Extremely close to Blue Line into Chicago. Easy drive to Wheaton (could have easily taken the Metra instead). Recommend Cuzzo pizza and Addis Cafe in Oak Park. One of us came down with a cold- grocery and drugstore nearby, and we spent the day playing cards and watching movies. Kitchenette was great for making our own (read: cheap) breakfasts each day. Thank you!

When we first arrived, the unit hadn’t been cleaned yet. It reeked strongly of dog and definitely needed a refresh. I contacted the owners, and while they were apologetic, cleaners weren’t able to come until around 6 PM even though check-in was at 3 PM. We left for dinner and the arcade, and when we returned, the smell was still there—just a little lighter, likely because they vacuumed.The bedding had an odd odor, and one pillow smelled as if it had gotten wet and put away without drying properly, so I couldn’t use it. The whole place could benefit from a deep carpet cleaning and some air freshening. We even lit the partial candle left behind, which helped slightly.There was also no hand soap in the bathroom, which I feel is essential and should be provided. On the positive side, the towels, toilet paper, and paper towels were good quality, and the shower was fantastic. The green paint in the bathroom is gorgeous, and the binder provided in the entryway had helpful info about check-in/out, restaurants, and the L train. However, it mentioned marked trash bins we couldn’t find, and the toaster oven’s numbers were completely worn off, making it hard to use.Overall, our stay wasn’t terrible, but the unit’s cleanliness and small missing essentials definitely need attention to make the experience more comfortable.

So staying in this VRBO is truly a mixed bag. Great location. Great parking. Clean with a caveat. No top sheets and it is impossible to know when the last time the comforter was washed, but it looked clean.The bed situation is not good. There is only one of the 3 beds that are at ground level and that bed is a little bigger than a twin bed. The other 2 beds are up 3 pretty big steps with no handrails. Pretty dangerous in the middle of the night. There is no thermostat to adjust the heating and cooling. According to my watch it was 65 degrees in the unit when we got there. Have to write the owner through VRBO messaging to get the temperature adjusted. There is only one thermostat for the whole house and there is only so much they can adjust it. So they suggested that we open the windows and close all of the vents. It was hot outside that the unit ran all the time. Condensation from the air ran down the walls and soaked the carpet. Don't know if that happens when it gets hot or was a malfunction. Owner said they would have someone come take a look after we departed. Nice place. Nice bathroom. Good space but be aware of the issues, especially the bed situation.
