We loved it!

From the moment we booked the house to check out, the communication and entire process was so easy. It was so comfortable, clean, and the location is wonderful with a coffee shop, liquor store close by. It’s in such a cute neighborhood! It was very accommodating with shampoo/conditioner available to use & the check out process was ideal. They just ask that you tidy up before you check out which made our experience more enjoyable instead of having to go through an entire check list. I highly recommend this space for a group get away close to the city!

Nice all in all

The house is very nice. Enough space to stay with your employee under one roof 😉 The host, Aaron, is very uncomplicated and helped as soon as I asked for something. The only negative: the porch with its seats and the grills were dirty why we couldn’t use them at all.

Great weekend get away

The house was wonderful. The furniture and beds were very comfortable. Linens were of high quality. House was clean and well cared for. Fenced in backyard was great for the dogs. Kitchen was great for cooking meals in, plenty of pots/pans/dishes. The wifi was strong enough to support many devices at the same time without slowing down. The only downside was that you have to drive through the garage to get to the off street parking, our crew had a larger truck and a van with a roof top carrier which wouldn't fit through the garage. That being said, we did not have any issues finding parking on the street near the house. The house was in a great location. It was very convenient to get to city from the house. There is some noise from the surrounding roads, from being in a well populated area, but it was not loud enough to bother us while inside the house. Will definitely look into this house again if we travel to the Chicago area again!!

St Patrick’s Weekend

My son had a soccer game in Chicago over St Patrick’s weekend. We decided to make a weekend out of it. This house was perfect for our group of 5 kids two adults. The house was walking distance from the Main Street of Forest Park. It was walking distance from the L green line but we mostly took Uber’s to and from downtown. This house was clean and so comfortable. We had plenty of seating in the kitchen and dining room for game night. The parking was great and rooms were so nice. We had a great time.

Fun Stay in Forest Park

Our group had a comfortable stay, and we enjoyed the cute neighborhoods of Forest Park and Oak Park. It was an easy trip downtown for sightseeing and plays. The house itself needs a little sprucing up, and we had concerns about a couple of neighboring properties. But overall it was a good experience.
