EXCEPTIONAL rental!!! The property lived up to the photos - spacious, very clean, all the amenities we could need. The checkin and out process was incredibly easy.

Just lovely!

I can’t say enough about the Oakton St. Inn. The apartment was beautiful, so clean and very thoughtfully appointed. Beds were super comfortable and the linens were so nice. I’m a total bed snob and this lived up to my picky expectations. There was plenty of room for our family to watch a movie and enjoy a sit down dinner. We will be back!

Cozy and clean, with a parking spot!

Oakton Inn was a really nice 2 BR with a great location in Evanston. It had everything I could need and it was also a calming and cozy place. The owner took extra effort to make sure I could work from the apartment. Easy to get in/out, and I really appreciated a driveway parking spot waiting for me.

This place sets the gold standard

We absolutely enjoyed it and found it very easy to enjoy our stay at the Oakton St Inn. The place is absolutely spotless and is exactly as shown. As you walk in you are embraced by a very cute surprisingly large space that has so many tasteful local decorations. It's a fun place. She has one of everything that you need right there. For those who are seeking more details, the space is well-balanced. The kitchen has all updated like new appliances and one of everything including a smoothie blender, toaster, and pots/pans, etc.There are 2 coffee options - a pour-over or a french press. There's a Trader Joe's and grocery nearby. We enjoyed many meals here. The bedrooms are a nice size and have great bedding and mattresses. Bathrooms are also nice sized and have a hair dryer. Spotless showers with newer tile and rainfall showerheads. Parking is very easy. Communication with our host was easy, prompt, and always helpful. We had no issues and absolutely enjoyed our stay.
