  Enjoyed our stay in this leafy Lincoln Park neighborhood. Apartment was clean & well-maintained, plenty of room for our party of five (though only one bathroom). Easy walking distance to the Brown Line/Loop El station & about a 1 1/2 mile, pleasant (flat!) walk to Lincoln Park and the lake. Found a good neighborhood Italian restaurant, Rose Angeli's, around the corner on Wrightwood. Chicago is beautiful in the spring!

  I live 3 blocks from the condo – so when 6 of my family members came to visit for a long weekend, it was a no-brainer to have them stay at this condo. The owners were great to work with – very helpful providing everything we needed, including a pack-n-play and high chair for my niece. My family had an overall great stay at the condo. It was very nice, clean, spacious – and being right next to the park was perfect for the kids. Having the living space and feeling at home definitely beat staying in a hotel! Although I had my car there, we never actually used it. We were able to walk to the Red/Brown/Purple Line stop at Fullerton – just a short walk away – to get everywhere we wanted to go.

  I would recommend anyone to stay at this property. A classmate and I came to Chicago for 3 months and required a place to live, and Lincoln Park Oasis delivered for us. They were more than accommodating, allowing us to stay in a different unit while we waited for the one we were renting to open up. We had the opportunity to live in all 3 units during our stay, and they are all uniform and great. The units are clean, and give a "homey" sense while you are away. They were prompt in any requests that we had, or issues that arose (no major issues, just burnt out light bulbs). By far one of the best renting experiences I have ever been a part of. They do short term (3+days and longer term commitments of 3 months). No complaints, Lincoln Park Oasis is recommended to all.

  We rented Unit 1 for almost a week in August for our first "big" family vacation. The location was fantastic for us - our two sons (ages 6 and 8) loved the park down the block and it was a great option when the kids needed to burn off some energy. It was initially a bit of a walk to the train but after a few trips into/around the city, we quickly adjusted to the lifestyle. Tons of restaurants within a 10-15 walk and the neighborhood felt very safe and family-friendly, even walking back from the train late at night. This isn't a super-chic hotel suite, so if you're expecting that you will be disappointed. What you should expect is to feel like you're house-sitting for a friend. Unit 1 is homey and comfortable. All of the basics are there, and it is clean and roomy. Unit 1 was bigger than we expected from the photos. There was plenty of closet space, which is nice for a long stay, as is having laundry within the condo. We didn't use the kitchen as often as we thought we would. We realized early on that a big part of Chicago is just eating amazing food, so our kitchen use was limited mostly to cereal and heating up leftovers. Reima, the owner, was very easy to work with from the beginning. Whether it was getting an extra parking sticker, or fixing some accidental damage, Reima was calm and responsive. Her responsiveness was the main reason we decided to rent this unit over others we considered on various websites. Other property owners took days (or even weeks!) to respond. We appreciated that professionalism and hoped that it would continue into our visit, which it did. We would absolutely stay at Draper St. again. Our kids loved it and we thought it was a great value.

  We had a great time. The place was perfect for us. Just a few blocks from DePaul and the El and a grocery store. We were able to visit our Freshman during family weekend and even host a 15 person parent /student dinner party! Hopefully you will see more of us over the next 4 years.

  My family stayed in the lower level unit for one week in July, 2012. It was four of us (two kids under 10) and the space was adequate for us. The living room is pretty small - only the couch in it, but the kitchen table is close and there were few times all four of us were in the living room anyway. The kitchen was very clean and well supplied. Because it is the lower unit, it was quite cool, but since Chicago was in the middle of a heat wave, we welcomed the chilliness. If you are planning a winter stay, it might be a a little too chilly down there. The location is awesome. The house is located on a dead end street with plenty of street parking. We needed parking permits while we were there, and they were on the kitchen table when we arrived. There is a park less than a block away, and another even larger park approx. four blocks away. Both were clean with plenty to keep our kids occupied. It's an easy walk to the Fullerton "L" stop, and the grocery store is next door to the train stop. The bus was a short walk as well. I'm not giving the unit a 5 star rating because it could use a little TLC. While it is clean, it could use a paint job and some general sprucing up. All the walls are stark white, which shows the scuff marks or dirt, and seems "cold" in general. And the shower definitely needs cleaned or replaced. There was mold in the caulking and it didn't seem very clean. Overall I would recommend this unit. The price was excellent, as was the location. The owners answered my questions and were easy to contact.

  Owner response: I am sorry that the unit was cold for you. We ask you to close your vents if you feel cold or let us know and we will turn the thermostat up. The boys who stayed there before you, wanted it really chilled. So, I thought that it being real hot outside everyone would want it cold inside. We have adjusted the thermostat to 75 degrees. We will attend to the shower right away, sorry if you noticed that the caulk was moldy.

  Our family of four spent a week in Unit 3 when we visited Chicago. It suited our needs perfectly, with a great kitchen and room to spread out. It was clean and well maintained. The location was a great base to explore the city from. We found it easy to get around with public transport and we felt safe walking around the lovely neighbourhood. We would certainly recommend this to others.

  The apartment was a very nice space. The washer and dryer came in so handy. The neighborhood was wonderful. The other tenants that were in the building were very nice as well. Downtown was very accessible within a few blocks walk. Plenty of stores, resturants, and bars. We just did not have enough time to do everything we would have liked.

  We LOVED this place. We came with a 3 year old and 9 month old baby and had a marvelous time. It was well suited for a family. The playground which is literally right next door was gorgeous. We loved being so close to the FREE Lincoln Park Zoo. I'm always nervous traveling with toddlers, but this was perfect. Very stress-free. Reima went out of her way to make this easy for a young family. When we left I accidentally took the house key with me. Reima was extremely gracious and allowed me to simply mail it back to her. I'm in the process of booking our return trip!
