Cozy, Comfy, Close to Downtown

CarolRating, 5 stars3 days ago

I needed a place to recuperate from sinus surgery, peaceful, comfortable and pet friendly. My husband and I could prepare meals, go for walks or bike along the River. There are ducks in the back yard that are cute and like veggies. Our hosts made us feel very welcome. I would go back again without a second thought. The area is safe and friendly with lovely old homes. Downtown is easy to get to and Geneva is nearby with many enchanting shops and restaurants. Many located in old homes. They is also laundry access in the apartment which is very handy since we were there about a week and a half.

The exterior of a historic brownstone building is showcased, featuring a beautifully detailed entrance surrounded by brick and stone. A set of steps leads up to the front door, flanked by decorative wrought iron railings and lush greenery, creating a welcoming atmosphere.

Sanctuary on the Ravine

KathyRating, 5 stars8 months ago

The Woodland house is truly incredible, with every detail thoughtfully designed for comfort, from the cozy bedrooms and soft linens to the inviting beds. The kitchen nook with a couch overlooking the ravine offers stunning views of nature, making it a picturesque spot to relax. The home exudes warmth and is perfect for unwinding in the spacious sunken living room or one of the multiple outdoor seating areas. Debra was an excellent host, providing all the amenities you could need. This home is a 10+, and you won't want to leave!

A spacious living room features large windows allowing natural light to fill the space. A comfortable light-colored sectional sofa is situated in front of a glass coffee table, with a medium-sized rug underneath. A wooden side table and a television mounted on the wall are also visible.

Sun drenched 2 bedroom 1 bath with Kitchen & W/D

DianeRating, 5 starstoday

Sam’s place was beautiful! We felt right at home. The furniture was comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The location was great. We got a free parking spot right outside of the door. Super convenient. We brought our dogs and it was perfect for them. Lots of places to walk and lots of things to do. It was just a short walk to the train. Sam was very easy to get ahold of and was a great host. I definitely recommend and we will be staying here again.

A Comfortable Stay While You are Away in Oak Park

KarenRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

The house looked just like the beautiful photos & Jay was incredibly responsive throughout the visit. This home is located close to 290 to go downtown or further out to the 'burbs quickly. We needed a home to stay last minute, and Jay was accommodating to that as well - we were happy to find this spot with all the space we needed inside and out. As a bonus, we met neighbors who were very friendly.

The exterior of the tiny house is shown, featuring a light grey façade with two symmetrical windows on the upper level and a white door at the bottom. A wooden staircase leads to the entrance, surrounded by minimal landscaping and a clear blue sky above.

Tiny house in West Village Arts District

JoelRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Lisa was a great host and this is a great place. It's a small house, but worked great for what we needed it for and was close to our family that live in Evanston. It was also a great price. Additionally, there were games which was nice because we had our child with us. I would definitely recommend this place and I will be staying here again when we're in Evanston, hopefully Lisa's schedule will be open!

O'Malley Oasis!

AndreaRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Clean, beautiful space. Has everything needed and the most comfortable seating space to relax. Clear instructions, easy parking. Be aware that there are several stairs to enter as seen in the pictures. They are well maintained with a handrail. This was not an issue at all for us but could be for someone with mobility limitations. Otherwise one of the best places I have stayed in Oak Park. Hope it is available when I come back.

Spacious 1BR apartment in a central location

GilRating, 5 stars1 month ago

I have stayed in a number of AirBnB‘s throughout the years, this may have been my favorite stay. There is absolutely everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Everything is clean. Alex is a five-star communicator. It is a busy little neighborhood, but the bedroom is toward the back of the apartment. I heard nothing but dead silence at night.

Spacious condo with open floor plan and fireplace

TatianaRating, 5 stars4 months ago

This place was spacious and perfect for our family (two kids and a baby), with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The hosts were fantastic! They encountered an issue with the fridge not working just before our arrival but handled it professionally, providing excellent support until it was fixed. We really appreciated their responsiveness and care. We highly recommend this space for families and large groups. One small suggestion: if you’re a light sleeper or have kids, consider bringing a noise machine, as some sound from the upstairs neighbors can be heard. However, this wasn’t a problem for us and is to be expected when staying in a condo.

Comfy Home Away From Home

ZakiRating, 5 stars1 week ago

This home completely transformed our view of Chicago. We arrived a little nervous, but the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a space that was warm, welcoming, and absolutely stunning. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, from the sleek kitchen to the plush pillows on the sectional. The kitchen is modern and fully stocked, perfect for cooking and gathering. The living room is beautifully styled and cozy, and the bedrooms felt like luxurious retreats with spa-like linens and calming decor. The basement lounge was a standout with its oversized sectional and elegant bar area, so perfect for relaxing after a long day. We especially loved the little reading nook with the blue chairs. Every corner of this home radiates peace and intentionality. It truly felt like a sanctuary. We left feeling inspired, rested, and already planning our return.
