Jayne had a lovely home in a very nice, quiet neighborhood. Plenty of space for our family, with a small gated yard perfect for our pups. The area is nice and the parking spot was a plus when it is so hard to find free parking around Chicago. We felt welcome and enjoyed our stay. Lots of restaurants and a great coffee shop around the corner from the house. Roughly 20/30 mins into downtown Chicago give or take with traffic.
Great location and very close to the Green Line, Metra, and downtown Oak Park. The check-in process was smooth and Jayne was extremely accommodating and provided excellent communication before and during our stay. I would highly recommended this unit and we would definitely stay here again.
We had such an amazing time. Check in, directions on where to park and how to get in were great. We brought our pups and had the whole backyard for them to run around in. The property was in a great spot, we walked everywhere or took the train. It’s in such a cute area and the house was very cute. We will definitely be coming back.
