Modern NEW Deluxe Studio in Oak Park

AshlynRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

This was the perfect spot for our weekend trip! Oak Park was the cutest little town and very easy to get to downtown Chicago. The listing was just like the pictures, and the check in/out process was one of the easiest we’ve ever had! Would definitely stay here again😊 Only thing to note is you are able to hear the street noises, and if the sun is something that will wake you up in the morning, be aware that it is shining through those beautiful big windows! Overall, an amazing experience!

The Albany Park Room at the Cape Cod in Riverside

MingleRating, 5 stars1 week ago

The place was a wonderful stay — both the bathroom and bedroom were exceptionally clean and well-maintained. However, if you’re planning to travel by car, I recommend reviewing the house rules carefully before booking. First, the driveway only accommodates one-way traffic for a single vehicle at a time. Second, street parking is prohibited between 2 AM and 6 AM. These two rules combined mean that guests must park in the driveway overnight. However, the host typically needs access to the driveway early in the morning. The host offers to move guests’ cars to the street in the morning. While this is a considerate idea, especially for those who don’t want to wake up early just to move their car, we felt a bit uneasy about it. Having previously experienced a street parking accident, we wanted to avoid any added mental stress associated with someone else moving the car for us. And it will be hard to argue with the insurance if the host was hit when trying to move our car.

Luxurious Lifestyle

JasonRating, 5 stars3 days ago

The property was immaculate. Definitely exceeded expectations. Even better than the pictures. I can see why this place is usually booked. Cynthia is an excellent host and maintains a beautiful property. The secure auto enclosure was a nice touch. We will certainly try to stay here in the future.
