We loved our stay! Extremely clean, open spaces. Big kitchen. Great location. Beds were very comfortable. Big walk in closet. We were busy so didn't spend much time here, except to sleep, but there were loads of games and books.

A great home base in Oak Park

This clean and well-located basement apartment was perfect for our 5-day stay to the area to help an elder move. Kitchen has all you need for simple meals. The FLW decor was a nice touch. You’ll hear light foot traffic and a soft-spoken dog occasionally upstairs, but not at all bothersome.

Great rental

My sister and I were in Oak Park to take care of some family matters and we stayed at this rental for a week. It was a great decision. The apartment was comfortable and warm (we were there during a cold spell) and it was easy to make our meals. It was also a great location and we were able to walk everywhere we needed to go. Finally, the host was very responsive and quickly answered any questions we had.

Perfect accommodations!

The property was wonderful and exactly as described. The kitchen was well stocked and i always appreciate owners who provide coffee filters, salt, pepper, sugar, among other kitchen staples. It makes traveling so much better to have dish detergent as well! I was especially impressed with the special makeup remover washcloths (I travel with makeup remover and cotton balls) but also seeing nice washcloths demonstrates the owner's attention to detail. Beds were very comfortable and we had plenty of space. Five stars. Highly recommend!

Perfect Choice

This apartment was perfect for our family of 4 adults and the walk to the Green Line of the CTA that will take you into Chicago was pleasant. Oak Park has a nice downtown with numerous restaurants, supermarkets and a movie theatre. The photos show the apartment accurately and was well stocked with all that we needed. Our family agreed that it was a terrific place from which to explore Chicago and its suburbs. Dan was very easy to communicate with which added to the overall impression of this beautifully decorated apartment.

VERY clean, location was perfect for our family as we wanted to experience using public transportation to get to downtown. 2 minute walk to the nearest bus stop and about 20 minute walk through very nice area to the train (we did both and you can take the bus to the train station too). Neighborhood is lovely. Owner is on site and available via text if there is an issue but there never was. Unit is completely separate from rest of house. We were very pleased.

Cozy Getaway with Easy Access to Chicago

Returning to the Chicagoland area after a 38-year hiatus, I along with 2 of my boys were delighted by our stay at this basement apartment in Oak Park. This experience was my first time using VRBO, and it couldn't have been more positive. As someone who grew up in nearby Forest Park, returning to the area and experiencing it from a visitor's perspective was a unique and nostalgic experience. The highlight of the apartment is the vast living room and dining room area, which is perfect for gatherings or simply unwinding after a day of exploring. The dining table seats eight, making it ideal for enjoying meals together. The living room features a flat-screen TV with a basic cable package, offering a cozy spot to relax and watch your favorite shows. Overall, my stay at this VRBO was exceptional, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore Oak Park and Chicago. The combination of thoughtful design, modern amenities, and a prime location made for an unforgettable experience.
