The house was great and everything was as promised. Easy access to Green Line trains, a friendly neighborhood, access to groceries and many types of restaurants. As a family of five we couldn‘t imagine a better place to start off our explorations of Chicago. Very friendly hosts who answered quickly and were very helpful. Thanks again.

This is our second time staying at this lovely bungalow for a month. The location cannot be beat. Two blocks to the El, which takes you right into the Loop. It’s walking distance to shopping, restaurants and bars. It’s in a quiet friendly neighborhood. It has a completely fenced backyard, which was wonderful for us since we were traveling with our dog. The property is very well maintained and there are plenty of supplies and a well stocked kitchen. I would highly recommend this house!

This was my first experience booking anything on VRBO and it was such a positive experience. The property was exactly as pictured and described. I was pleasantly surprised to see that even cooking spices and oil were provided, as well as tea and coffee. The location was convenient for my family to visit Chicago and some of the other suburbs. I will definitely book again next time I am in Chicago.

We had a fabulous stay at this beautiful, clean, wonderfully organized, well-stocked home. The location was in a beautiful neighborhood, yet only three minutes from Whole Foods and Walgreens, and an easy drive downtown and to surrounding suburbs.
As a runner, I loved the gorgeous jog to and around Thatcher Woods. Having a designated parking spot was amazing. We were visiting family in the area, and will absolutely come back to this home on future visits. Thank you so much for this perfect home away from home!

Jim and Michele’s place was perfect for our friends weekend. It was very close to the metro line and easy to go into downtown when we wanted to. It was also walkable to downtown Oak Park which was very convenient. The house itself was in a quiet neighborhood and had a lot of charm. The house was also clean and had everything we needed during our stay.

Overall stay was amazing. Property had everything we needed. Only thing that caught us off guard was when we were checking out, we didn’t realize that people were coming to do yard work. It would have been nice to know ahead of time since they were opening gates and coming back and forth.

Very nice home in the Chicago suburbs. I'm a single traveler and I found the home and neighborhood comfortable and safe. Easy 7 minute walk to the "L". I travelled downtown and south to multiple destinations without having to drive. I highly recommend this home !

We loved loved loved this property. Seemed like the owners read our minds; they had every single amenities availble. We just had to open a cabinet and the item was there, from oil, spices, coffee, tea and sugar and more. The place was decorated very tastefully and it was very comfortable to stay. Already planning the next stay in October 24.

This vrbo exceeded expectations from the photos. The vrbo was extemely clean, well maintained, and our dog enjoyed the yard. We also felt very safe walking at night and really enjoyed the proximity to Oak Park attractions, and the green line el stop is a 5 minute walk away. We intend to stay again when visiting the Chicago suburbs!

This was the third time I stayed at this property and I found it immaculate on each occasion. Mr. Adams patiently resolved a technology issue I had with my device on check-in day this year.

The property was wonderful. A nice clean home with just the right amount of feel of being at home. It felt so spacious and was nearby the cute downtown area. We did a lot of walking but it was so wonderful to have a space to park. The owners were so fast to respond and were so helpful when I realized I would be getting into town earlier than expected. Honestly I plan to book again when we go back to the Chicago area.

We really enjoyed our stay at this cute and clean home. The fenced in backyard was perfect for our two small dogs that travel with us. Listing was accurate, home was well equipped, and all instructions were clear and concise. Next time we are in Chicago, we will hope to book here again!

Comfortable and had everything we needed. 7 stairs to get into bungalow were a challenge -- thank goodness for the handrails. Husband uses walker and cane and without handrails we would have had to go elsewhere. Thanks for a lovely home.

This was a great house for our family (3 boys. Ages 11, 11, 7) to stay in for a long weekend trip to check out some Chicago highlights. The bedrooms were comfortable, everything was clean and homey feeling! Appreciated the nightlight in the bathroom. Shower had plenty of hot water for everyone to shower after a long day of sightseeing.
My boys enjoyed playing catch in the backyard and the neighborhood was quiet and very safe feeling. Parking was convenient in the back alley.
My only "complaint" was lack of a clock in the living/dining room and bedrooms, only the stove/microwave clocks. My one kiddo is an early riser, but knows to stay in bed until atleast 6am; he missed his digital clock. So maybe we are just used to having them in every room at our own house. Ha!
We ate at Lou Malnati's Pizzeria - deep dish pizza and pasta hit the spot! It was close by, parking was easy and food/service was excellent!!
I would definitely recommend this location and house again!! Thank you for sharing ypur house with us!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this well appointed home. The listing is very accurate and the property is well suited to adults or families or those traveling with a pet. Great location with easy access to the expressway as well as public transportation. Close to the lovely Oak Park downtown as well. We were comfortable and had a well equipped kitchen for our meals. A very enjoyable place to be. We hope to stay again someday!

The property is in a nice quiet neighborhood. The cleanliness itself can be improve a little bit, along with having enough supplies (trash bags, coffee filter, frying pan). Overall stay was good.

I would give this property 10 stars if I could. Check-in was flawless. We arrived on a hot day in July and the house was blissfully cool and remained so during our entire stay. The home was spotless and had every amenity you could possibly need, including a washer and dryer in the basement. We brought our dog, so the fenced yard was great for us. I also walked him daily and the neighborhood is beautiful and very safe and friendly. The El train is just three blocks away and takes you to the heart of the Loop, where you can make connections to anywhere in the city. There are three grocery stores very nearby, two within easy walking distance. There's a cute little pub a half block away with great burgers and cold beer and an outdoor patio. There are many, many restaurants within a short walk also. We had no need to contact the owners but their contact info was made available to us. Overall we highly recommend this cozy little home and plan on returning next summer!

We had a great time at this house. It is in a good location. Walkable neighborhoods. On sight parking is a huge plus. The house matched the description. I would stay here again if we come back to Chicago.

Me and my two adult daughters picked this place to stay while we were in town to see Taylor Swift at Solider Field. Everything worked out well. We weren't too far from the venue but out of the city enough and where it felt safe.
The house was great. Easy instructions to get in. Place was very spacious and clean. We didn't need to get too comfortable, but we could if we wanted. Great cozy house. Each one of us had our own bed, they were comfortable.
Very happy with our stay. My daughter said "if we come back to Chicago, can we just stay here again?" And we will if it's available.
Thank you!

We were totally satisfied with the house. All of the directions were logical and easy to understand. The house was clean and had everything we needed. We would definately stay here again.

We were attending a wedding in Chicago and this location was perfect. It was close to shopping, which came in handy when we figured out we didn’t have some things that we needed and we could walk over to target. They were restaurants nearby, but we didn’t get an opportunity to use them. The house itself was clean and most of the things that we needed were provided. There was no iron and that was the only thing that was inconvenient for us. I recommend staying here, but make sure that you have a handheld steamer or something if you are going to be dressing up

Absolutely immaculately maintained property on quiet and peaceful residential street and perfect location for shopping and dining in downtown Oak Park! This was my second time I stayed at this home and I look forward to returning!

If you are vacationing with a family with dogs, this is probably one of the best options you could find for your Chicago vacation. This beautiful home is located in a very convenient and safe neighborhood just outside of Chicago. The house has a sizable backyard for the children and doggos to play. The train station is a 5 minute walk from the house, and the rail ride into downtown Chicago was around 20 minutes. We got a train/bus day pass for about $3 each. The Chicago transit system is very easy to navigate. The local downtown, which is where the train station is located, has some good restaurants and shops. Overall, great experience, and we’ll be booking again for our next Chicago trip!

My husband and I took our three children (12, 7, 6) on their first trip to Chicago. We wanted a house big enough that the kids had bedroom space and that was close to the L to avoid driving into the city. This house was perfect. The bedrooms are just the right size - luggage fit, but things didn’t get lost, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook tacos and spaghetti, the bathroom had more hot water than our own home, and you couldn’t beat the three minute walk to the L. The neighborhood is quiet, but still active enough that it feels safe and lived in. Getting to the house from the interstate was a snap and having off street parking was great. The house is cozy and feels like a home, but at the same time doesn’t feel like you’re invading someone else’s space. We would stay here again in a heart beat. Thank you, Jim and Michelle, for sharing your home!

Needed to come to Chicago for the week to assist a site for work. Traveled here w/ husband, adult daughter, and dog This location was perfect and we felt very safe. The home was very cozy, clean, well managed. The fenced yard was perfect for our dog. Easy travel to center city Chicago at night. Visited Navy's Pier and Millennium Park. Some of Andrew Lloyd Wright homes he designed right up the road. The home was perfect for our needs. Hope to return.

Needed a place for 10 days and this home offered a quiet but conveniently located place to stay. Everything was clean. It was however difficult to enter the home on. January evening when it's very dark, all exterior lights were off and we had to find out way in with phone flashlights. All that said, would definitely recommend and stay again!
