We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here in Oak Park. The unit is super clean and perfect for 2 people. It is in a great location, bonus points for the ice cream and coffee shops right next door!
Very nice place to stay in Oak Park. Good location for any FLW enthusiasts. Within blocks of the Home and Studio and a short drive to downtown Oak Park. Would definitely stay at again.

This was our second stay at the property and both have been exceptional. There are plenty of dining options and things to do in the area. The property is very quiet and well appointed. Communication is always very prompt and helpful. Highly recommend!
Stayed close to home for some construction. Location was perfect, communication with host easy and fast. Access was easy. Needs updated furniture and pillows.

Very convenient for our needs. Excellent communication with the host.
I grew up in Oak Park and loved being back. This place was the perfect size and location for what we needed and super close to my Mom :)
If you are needing a VRBO in Oak Park for the weekend I would definitely check this place out!
Enjoyed my stay, though the parking situation was a bit costly in Oak Park. Park on other side of Marion St. toward Pauline and hike back. Kitchen was nicely appointed, shower fine. It was November, so the sleeping room was coool, but that's to be expected.
It's in an old Victorian house that was converted into apartments. During the 3 days of subzero temperatures the heat was excellent and I was very comfortable despite old windows. Lots of charm.
The rental was a very good value and was in a nice location for my purposes. It is located in a cute Victorian house and included, small but but functional bed, bath, kitchen, and living rooms. Photos of the site are accurate. I would recommend if looking for a good value and a location near shops and Chicago Avenue in Oak Park. The owner was welcoming and willing to assist with any questions I had.
This was a great place to spend a few days in Oak Park visiting my daughter. The property was clean, comfortable and in a good location.
Parking was not ideal but Oak Park is apparently known for this.
The map on the app shows this property to be directly across from Austin gardens park, however it is several blocks north though. It is still a nice location within easy walking distance to all that Oak Park has to offer.
Overall I would definitely stay here again.

The outside of the property was sadly very run down. It has the potential to be beautiful. The inside was clean, cosy but in need of some TLC. The description in a review stating property is luxurious is dishonest.
The checkin information was incorrect. It really needs to be updated to avoid confusion. The location was excellent!

Jennifer thank you again so much for your stay, we are working on updating the exterior of this building to freshen it up this spring :) we just acquired this property in the winter months. I wanted to clarify Jennifer's experience at my place. The check-in information was correct the issue we had with Jennifer was that she wanted to check-in extremely early and after agreeing to allow here to check-in at 1pm way before the regular check-in time she arrived at my place at 11:30 am when the previous guest checked-out at 11am my cleaning staff was onsite working to make the place nice and clean and ready for her, but she kept knocking on the door giving the staff a hard time to let her check-in even earlier, since my staff could not finish cleaning without constant interruption they did allow her to check-in even while they finished up all the cleaning they had to do inside. I try my best to provide the best possible experience to all of my guests and my aim is to provide a clean, safe and affordable stay which I believe I achieve all the time and that is what you get when you choose to stay at my place.
The location was great! The coffee pot didn't work. You really need to put a trash can in the bathroom. The seating arrangement in the living room was very awkward. You couldn't watch tv from the couch. The tv sat askew on the wall hanging over a door jamb.
