Nora said: “We hit the jackpot staying at Don & Marilva’s warm and extremely clean Airbnb! Don communicated frequently with us and was responsive to our questions. We had all of the amenities that we needed for a comfortable stay. The well equipped kitchen met our needs. It was wonderful to have coffee in the house the morning we woke up before we were able to go to the grocery store. We greatly appreciated the wealth of sanitizing supplies.
In addition, we had cable TV and Wi-Fi. The location is perfect and it is within walking distance to the University and the lake. There are multiple eateries nearby. I can’t say enough good things about this Airbnb. We hope to stay there again sometime.”

Krista said: “Our stay was perfect. Everything was exactly as described and Kevin provided all the essentials for a month long stay and was a terrific host. Easy to contact but definitely let us make the spot our own for the time we were there. The neighborhood was great too, close to bars, coffee shops and restaurants and bars. Perfect for walking and close driving distance to lots of grocery stores. Would definitely recommend this spot for a long stay or a short one!”

Vincent said: “This is pretty much the ideal place to stay in Oak Park. It’s on a very quiet residential street, but close to all modes of transportation (CTA, Metra, I-90), shopping, restaurants, parks, etc. Whole Foods and Osco were within walking distance.
We were able to get to Water Tower in about 40 min (green line to State, then the red line to Chicago), and out to Elmhurst in under 30 (Metra). Under 30 to O’Hare (on weekend). The apt is very clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. We made good use of the kitchen and laundry facilities. Everything worked perfectly. Wifi was great and easy to connect. We were able to log into our Netflix and enjoy some movies.”

Daniel said: “My wife and I stayed for 4 nights with our two kids, aged 10, and 7, and our dog. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, as when we arrived it was simple to get in and it was very clean.
The beds were all nice sized which was great. The backyard was huge so our dog loved it. We would stay again if we came back to Naperville for a stay. If you have your car it’s nice and simple to get to the cute downtown area.”
