I can't recommend Jay's place highly enough. It's outside of the insanity of downtown Chicago, but you can get to it super easily so you're really getting the best of both worlds. The house is nice and quiet and Jay couldn't have been more accommodating. I would easily stay there again since it had everything we needed for a six day stay in Chicago.

Jay Johnson is the owner of this wonderful bungalow. A dear friend and I traveled from California to Chicago to speak at our old high school. I was tasked with getting a VRBO place within walking distance of the school. I typed in the parameters and eventually found Jay’s house. However, I did not read the very clear description closely. Instead of being less than a mile from the school, it was 12 miles away in Oak Park Illinois. Ironically, the house and the school are both on the same Division Street, just separated by 12 miles. I was dismayed by my mistake. However, it turned out to be a wonderful mistake. The house is 20’-30’ from O’Hare depending on traffic and 30’ from downtown Chicago. We used Uber every day to travel to and from downtown. It turned out to be cheaper and more practical than renting a car. For example, we never had the hassle of trying to find parking and our Uber driver always dropped us off at the precise location we wanted. Moreover, parking in the city can be expensive and not always easy to find. (My friend and I are both native Chicagoans.) Additional thoughts: First, Jay is a wonderful host. He met us at the house, walked us through It, and carefully explained how everything operated. He told us where we could find Wholefoods and various eateries in this charming village. Second, Jay could not have been a more forward-looking host. He has meticulously thought out what guests need and has provided those things. I highly recommend this house.

Jay was a perfect host, house location was great, house was clean, neighborhood quiet. Jay supplied us with coffee, which we were not expecting - thanks Jay, that was a bonus. :). If and when I come back to Chicago I know where I will be staying. Thanks again Jay.
Best,
Maddie

Jay was communicative and very welcoming. He also puts a lot of thought and detail into the home. He has many things that you might need for your visit. Overall I’d highly recommend this property to anyone staying in the area

This stay is in a very comfortable bungalow just a few blocks north of Lake Street/Oak Park. It is easy to get anywhere in Oak Park from this location. We would stay here again.
5.0
This was an immaculate older home in a very nice - and safe - part of Chicagoland. Convenient to Concordia University and not far from the restaurant/business district of Oak Park. The host welcomes you upon your arrival and provides and excellent, thorough survey of the property and answers any questions you may have. Unlike some VRBOs, there was no shortage of household items - practically every need is anticipated.
I plan on staying here again in the future when on business in the area.

We had a small group of friends stay at Jay's property for our Homecoming weekend at Concordia University Chicago. It could not have been a more exceptional experience for us all. Jay left no stone unturned when it came to our accommodations! The smooth check-in and check-out process, games and entertainment center, and attention to detail helped make it a very memorable weekend. The personal touches within the home like the guest book and optional brunch service gave a next-level customer service unlike any other property I've stayed at previously. Jay has a gift for hosting, and we will definitely be looking to stay at his home in the future!

A very nice clean stay in a wonderful neighborhood.

We loved this property and its location, right across the street from a beautiful park. In summer, the splash pad operates, and this was a blessing during such a hot week. The kitchen and bathroom were spotless, which is so important to us, and there was ample space. Our rating on cleanliness is not about cleanliness per se. It rather was about so many scented options for soaps, etc. My husband has allergies, including to scented items, so at first he had to get accustomed to that. We enjoy Oak Park so much, and Mr, Jay made us feel welcomed and valued. He was available for the couple of questions we made by phone, one during his work day. While we wanted to avoid interrupting his work, our question had some urgency. He answered immediately and kindly. Thank you, Jay, for everything.

We picked Jay's house because it's located right in the middle of Oak Park where many of Frank Lloyd Wright's works are located, we had so much fun walking the beautiful neighborhood. Jay's property is great too!
5.0
Convenient to everything! Walking distance to the Frank Lloyd Wright Studio & Museum. A softball field accross the street. Quiet, but not without pleasant activity. Jay's place has every convenience anyone would need. Safe parking in the private driveway. Oh, do I really need to mention how clean everything is there? Ok then, everything is clean, dust free and inviting.

This home away from home was perfect for my visit with my grandson, who is studying at Dominican University down the street. This house was a great home base after all of our activities. Sunday brunch was a gourmet meal!
4.0
We had a wonderful stay in this VRBO property. The beds were very comfortable. The home was well appointed. We had everything we needed. The only problem was that the washer and dryer were not on site and were expensive to use. This was not clear to us in the VRBO description. Otherwise this is a great place to stay.

Jay was an excellent host, meeting me at the door and giving me a tour. His attention to detail in the property is excellent. Communication and all else was great as well.

Like visiting a friend’s place!
From the moment we arrived, Mr. Johnson made us feel like we were friends coming to stay for a visit. The neighborhood is wonderful, obviously, and there’s lots to do. The access to downtown by train is convenient, but we stayed around the neighborhood this trip. And the house was perfect for our needs. Mr, Johnson takes great pride in caring for the property, updating it as needed, providing everything needed for a comfortable stay! From the old school board games to the high tech services like wi-fi/FIOS tv channels to the outstanding Sunday Brunch!!!! We plan to return in the future, for sure.

Quick Trip
We had to travel short notice for a funeral and this property was the perfect! Located close to family. Jay was friendly and prompt with check-in. We’d definitely stay there again.

Would stay again!
The host, Jay, is very personable and easy to communicate with. His house is immaculately clean and very well appointed. The beds are comfortable, the towels are soft, and the water is hot. The location is good and the neighborhood felt safe. I have one suggestion: if you use multiple electric hair tools (hair dryer, flat iron, etc.), bring a power strip. It’s an old house that’s been amazingly updated, but there’s only one outlet in the bathroom. Our stay was fantastic and I would definitely stay here again!

Park View
Awesome accommodations. Full media center with premium channels entertainment. Lovely art and reading materials, most of which were African-American influenced, were an unexpected and welcomed comfort.

Very Comfortable, Great Amenities
There was a mix-up with the check-in process that was quickly resolved. All else was nearly perfect. Absolutely fantastic sun room. Amazing art work. Friendly, lovely neighborhood.

Nice quite area in a convenient location
Was clean and comfy. Host was very helpful. Love the location felt safe. The only thing I believe should be disclosed when travelers book this vacation rental is that the host occupies the second floor. Other than that this is a great place.

cozy, quaint, inviting
My friend and I met to just hang out in the Chicago area. This immaculately clean home was in a perfect setting.
The owner; Jay was delightful, very welcoming and loved that he showed us the entire place and how everything 'worked'.
Loved chatting with him, very knowledgeable about the area and his place had everything you could possibly need( just in case, you forgot something).A bonus was the fresh flowers in the bedroom. Such a quaint touch.
Close to public transit, and walking distance to the Frank Lloyd Wright neighborhood, houses, and the museum.
Would definitely stay here again. We loved it.
The front sunroom was perfect for the 2 of us to do our morning yoga/ exercises.
Thanks so much Jay for sharing this beautiful home.

Fun weekend stay
Our stay at this property was amazing! The location was very convenient and close to public transportation. Jay, our host, was great and was accommodating. We wanted to make dinner, so Jay made sure the kitchen was ready fir our use. He also showed us around the house and was very welcoming.
