Loved how the host was available anytime we had a question. Host was super communicative and helpful with what we needed help with and how to get parking. The place was clean and accurate like the pictures. Host was so sweet and left us a note and that is very much appreciated it’s the little things that count. Me and my family had a blast there was games and movies provided!

It was clean and had all the basics. Bathroom looked newly remodeled. Beds and couch were comfy. Didn’t have a stove and only one small mirror in bathroom. Easy and helpful add would be full length mirrors in bedrooms.

When we first arrived, the unit hadn’t been cleaned yet. It reeked strongly of dog and definitely needed a refresh. I contacted the owners, and while they were apologetic, cleaners weren’t able to come until around 6 PM even though check-in was at 3 PM. We left for dinner and the arcade, and when we returned, the smell was still there—just a little lighter, likely because they vacuumed.The bedding had an odd odor, and one pillow smelled as if it had gotten wet and put away without drying properly, so I couldn’t use it. The whole place could benefit from a deep carpet cleaning and some air freshening. We even lit the partial candle left behind, which helped slightly.There was also no hand soap in the bathroom, which I feel is essential and should be provided. On the positive side, the towels, toilet paper, and paper towels were good quality, and the shower was fantastic. The green paint in the bathroom is gorgeous, and the binder provided in the entryway had helpful info about check-in/out, restaurants, and the L train. However, it mentioned marked trash bins we couldn’t find, and the toaster oven’s numbers were completely worn off, making it hard to use.Overall, our stay wasn’t terrible, but the unit’s cleanliness and small missing essentials definitely need attention to make the experience more comfortable.

Overall the stay was great. I would give 4.75 stars if i could: 1. Great location, walking distance to the blue line and bus, 2. Clear check in/check out instructions, 3. Easy use of tv and there was a wii and movies available, 4. 1st issue- You can not control the air temp i had to message a few times to either turn up or turn down-it either was frigid or it got to warm, and there would be times that it didn't kick on at all, but the owner was amazing with communication even at 10:30 pm, 5. Two of the beds do require climbing thin stairs so more suited for young people (the pictures show the stairs so not a complaint just to make aware), 6. Don't expect to be able to cook full meals, there is a microwave, toaster oven and hot plate but it worked great for what we were cooking-the amenities do say stove as an amenity -not a cimplaint just to make aware 7. 2nd issue- We were advised to watch our noise level but the upstairs neighbors do not have the same consideration-loud stomping, we could hear them talking and it was all hours of the night 8. There is an automatic light that comes on when you come through the first door to go down the few stairs, which was great because my mil is in her late 70's. The house overall was very nice, in a great neighborhood and walkable to so many things.

Spacious and comfortable. Close access to downtown.Temperature control is offsite requiring email communication to have it adjusted. Unit was chilly during our stay. Easy communication with host but it seemed to return to base temperature each day and didn't want to have to email continually to get it to a more comfortable temperature.

So staying in this VRBO is truly a mixed bag. Great location. Great parking. Clean with a caveat. No top sheets and it is impossible to know when the last time the comforter was washed, but it looked clean.The bed situation is not good. There is only one of the 3 beds that are at ground level and that bed is a little bigger than a twin bed. The other 2 beds are up 3 pretty big steps with no handrails. Pretty dangerous in the middle of the night. There is no thermostat to adjust the heating and cooling. According to my watch it was 65 degrees in the unit when we got there. Have to write the owner through VRBO messaging to get the temperature adjusted. There is only one thermostat for the whole house and there is only so much they can adjust it. So they suggested that we open the windows and close all of the vents. It was hot outside that the unit ran all the time. Condensation from the air ran down the walls and soaked the carpet. Don't know if that happens when it gets hot or was a malfunction. Owner said they would have someone come take a look after we departed. Nice place. Nice bathroom. Good space but be aware of the issues, especially the bed situation.

Oak Park, IL Apartment

The only issue was with the toilet and air conditioner. The toilet needs to be fixed and the air conditioner was on so high that it was uncomfortable (too cold). The temperatures outside were not hot during the time of our stay. So, it didn't seem necessary for it to be so cold inside the apartment. The owner was very kind at turning it down but shared that it cooled the entire building. So, it couldn't be turned completely off. He controled the air conditioner. It took effort to get the toilet to flush that required me to remove the lid and lift something for it to flush.

Comfortable basement apartment in great location

Me and my sons were in town for a football game and enjoyed our stay in this comfortable basement apartment. Oak Park is a great little suburb of Chicago with a great selections of restaurants and nearby shopping. The hosts were easy to communicate with when our code to get in the apartment didn’t work. World recommend this place for smaller parties 3-4 people and would stay here again.

Great neighborhood, spacious lodgings

We really enjoyed the neighborhood, and enjoyed the additional touches of q-tips, razors, and cream for the coffee. The reason I'm leaving 4 stars instead of 5 is a couple small things. 1, there is no light in the entry stairwell, which is very hard to navigate at Bobby

Nice stay, didn’t like the neighbors very rude, loud stomping and I had to be quiet even on weekends didn’t appreciate the approach of any of it! I’m on vacation and barley got to be in the home due to complaints of conversations or laughing we did
