Great stay!
My family and I came to town for a wedding - the location was perfect for walking just a few blocks to stores, restaurants, and more. It was clean and easy to check in and out! We would stay there again for our next trip to the area :)

Perfect spot for visiting chicago
We volunteered to work at the DNC in the United Center for the four days of the convention and this was a perfect place to stay. On the green line so convenient. Far enough away from the city hubbub to be an oasis after the throngs. Charming neighborhood with delicious restaurants walkable. Thank you so much for sharing your home.

The apartment was great for our needs. We have a disabled son so it was good for everything to be on one level. The location is good, in a quiet neighbourhood with easy walking /wheelchair access to Oak Park restaurants and bars. The bathroom is very small but adequate. (We had a problem with the toilet that was resolved before we left.) The apartment has AC units which are much needed but very noisy! Linda responded quickly to messages and calls during our stay - thank you.
