This unit truly is a hidden gem in the area! My wife and I stayed in this unit on a recent trip to visit some of the Chicago museums. This unit did not disappoint. Having 2 teenage daughters often means 2 separate hotel rooms or the girls doubling up on a bed and complaining about it. This unit gave us 3 beds amongst 2 bedrooms giving the girls space and us parents privacy, and barely cost more than one hotel room by itself. The location is a very short walking distance from the L station, so leave you can leave your car behind when headed to the attractions. Honestly, this will turn into our "go-to" place to stay when visiting.
The unit was clean, spacious, and provides every amenity. I found the apartment to be well decorated and furnished. Ample seating was available for our group, the kitchen had anything we needed, the host was communicative, and the water was hot in the shower. Honestly, it felt like home away from home.
If you are planning a stay in Chicago, this place definitely deserves a look. Free off-street parking! Local restaurants and shopping within a 3 minute walk! Quiet and comfortable!

Great property, perfect for our needs. Kids love it, and it’s in a great area.
This was the 2nd time we stayed there. It works perfectly for our family. It's in a nice location and close to shops. We'll definitely stay there again.

Very comfortable and cozy! Would highly recommend.
Easy to get to and SO close to the train station. Cute little neighborhood with plenty of restaurants to walk to. The place was so clean and nice. Can’t wait to come back and stay here again!! Came here on a girls trip and felt very safe. Highly suggest!
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.
Quiet area on outskirts of Chicago. Close to everything. Clean and great for pets. Even though this place is petfriendly you would never know any animals have ever stayed there because it is so clean. Very good experience!
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.
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!
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.
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!

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.
Property is in a nice neighborhood that is in walking distance to a lot of places. Very affordable price for the area.
House was overall clean but the sofa pillows had some rips, there were hair in clumps in several places like the bathroom floor and on the couch, the doorknob on a bedroom was not all the way installed, and there was no light in the stairway to get to the unit. The owner did message me before our stay and tell me that the cleaners didn't show and that a new company would be coming out right before we arrived. Perhaps that is why we had some of the issues mentioned above.
I would stay in this area again and at this house.
Everything about our stay was fantastic. The pictures were exact, the amenities were really well done and a lot was provided. From free wifi to professional responses/check ins this Vrbo is one of my favorites.
The only noticeable "negative" trait was what looked to be just a piece of garbage behind the couch. I wouldnt give a lower review for something weve all probably seen in our own homes once or twice.
The owner is polite, responsive, but also understanding.
If i could give a tip it would be to the owner: make sure you check who uses your wii in the house. We stumbled across previous players who put racial slurs as characters and some inappropriate words left on a couple games from other renters before us.
Please dont let that stop you from staying here! Lovely place.
Clean and convenient, in a very nice part of town, located near a lot of shopping, restaurants, and public transportation.
Unit itself was as described. Be mindful that older folks or people with bad backs/legs/etc. will have to navigate several bed situations that are in raised lofts and must be accessed by climbing precarious stairs (there is one normal level bed, and a couch that could be used as a bed). For us, this wasn't an issue, but I kept thinking, "Thank goodness I'm still young enough to manage this".
All the amenities were there (TV, streaming, wonderful bathroom with a beautiful shower, clear instructions for check-in/check-out), and a mostly functional kitchen (toaster oven did not work so I was unable to re-toast a hot sandwich I'd gotten). Also no coffee for the coffee maker, only instant, which.... yeah.
Aside from these tiny things, the stay was great. I'd come here again.
Our thanks to the owner!

Great location, safe to walk, close to grocery, cafes and restaurants. Easy access to station. I was not aware that we were going to stay in basement floor. The information on site must be transparent and clear.
Areas for improvement; 2 bunk beds, slippery steps. I fell down and hurt my arm.
Kitchen utilities are very poor. Plastic plates, cookware are not healthy. Mini oven is to small to handle. We could not cook meal.
You can hear the conversation and any other sounds from upstairs. When they wake up, you wake up for sure!!
Great location near transportation, shopping and sightseeing spots in Oak Park. The rooms were spacious and clean and instructions were accurate and easy to follow
