Sad to leave

We had the most wonderful stay. Kathy was an amazing host, extremely helpful and very friendly, I will miss her. The apartment was perfect, lots of lovely space and with all we needed and more. Lots of light and fresh air. The teenagers could find their own space. We loved sitting out front on the porch, watching the birds and greeting the neighbours who were very friendly. I will miss Floyd in particular. I hope we get to come again. Oak Park is lovely to walk around and explore. Frank Lloyd Wright architecture is stunning. Chicago was great, what a lovely city. Thank you for hosting us Kathy.

Great neighborhood, perfect location

Just blocks from my husband’s childhood home; lots of good old memories! Quiet neighborhood, quiet upstairs guests. Close to downtown Oak Park, shopping, restaurants, parks. Apartment is very charming and cozy; kitchen stocked with needed dishes, basic pantry supplies. Kathy, the host, was friendly and available through texts, but was not a bother. We would stay there again!

Gorgeous Home; Perfect Neighborhood

We stayed a week at Ms. Kathy’s home. We knew nothing about Illinois, except we wanted to be kind of between our daughter who we were visiting in Channahon, and Chicago. Oak Park is wonderful! I could literally spend all day just walking the historic neighborhood. You can walk to downtown Oak Park, which is a great place for meals, treats, book store, historic movie theatre & a host of other places. If you want, the walk to the “L” train is doable. The actual home is beautiful! There are 2 fairly large bedrooms & both beds are incredibly comfortable. The main bed is adjustable & it vibrates! (Insert cheeky comment here). Also, the large couch folds out - the mattress is inflatable & is very comfortable. The bathroom is beautiful - plenty of hot water & towels. Kitchen is stocked; large oven & gas stove top. We’re from Alabama, so we only know how to survive with central air. This home does not have that, but each room has an air unit & there’s a large unit in living room. And we were very comfortable. Ms. Kathy, the owner, is great. She lives in the basement - you’ll be on the main floor. I texted her with several questions throughout the week & she’s quick & friendly in response. She was very kind, recommending lots of things we can do, both in Chicago & in Oak Park. This place is 5 stars, and I can’t wait to come back in the winter to play in the snow!

Peaceful Haven

My five year old, husband and myself stayed at this beautifully preserved place and absolutely loved it. It was comfortable with modern amenities while also preserving the historic parts. Kathy was very attentive and communicative when needed. We came from out of town for a memorial so staying here definitely helped with soothing our souls from all of the grief we had been encountering. Thank you Kathy for your kindness and hospitality! 🙏

Perfect Oak Park Stay

This is a lovely apartment with hardwood floors throughout, lots of antiques and unique touches that make it a relaxing retreat. The location is convenient to downtown Oak Park and the trains (Green Line and Metra). The owner is very responsive and you can tell she takes a lot of love and care in maintaining and keeping it clean. There is some noise from the people living in the apartment above, but it is not bothersome and only happens during awake hours. It’s typical for an old hardwood floor apartment building. We had a very relaxing and restful stay. The beds are great too! I really loved the chandelier in the bathroom! The adjustable lighting everywhere really helps for a cozy atmosphere. This is one of the best VRBO’s that I’ve stayed at!

Perfect location, great place!

This property is fantastic and completely met our needs. It’s close to some great restaurants and shopping. We traveled to downtown Chicago to the Field Museum, Magnificent Mile shopping, etc and to 6 Flags Great America in Guernee. It was wonderful to have this home-like space to come back to after busy days of sightseeing. Kathy, the owner, made check-in, etc so easy and was always very responsive to our messages. We had more than enough space for our family of 4 and would definitely stay here again!

Comfortable Stay

My group of friends and I live all across the country, all in different states. So, when we finally got one night to come together to hang out, we took the opportunity. We’re all originally from the Chicagoland area, so when we found this place, it was perfect! Kathy was very communicative and so kind to allow us to stay at her home. The apartment was so cute and comfortable. It matched the pictures exactly. There was even a rooftop area to sit outside! The location was also very nice. The check in and out process was incredibly easy. This was my first time using VRBO, and I will be back to use it in the future. Fantastic stay!
