Oak Park Queen

Lovely older apartment with hard wood floors and high ceilings! However, lobby door was very old and difficult to unlock - had to wiggle the key for quite awhile to get it to catch. Also would be helpful to label the 4 keys provided as there was one for the main door, one for the basement laundry facilities, and one for the apartment itself - never found out what the 4th key was for. Kitchen was fully equipped and easy for cooking meals. All in it was a very nice stay and the owner was very helpful when needed.

My overall impression: a promising work in progress, with glitches pretty easy to rectify.No problems witth check-in.Kitchen was fine for us, as we only made coffee. The Keurig worked fine for the only 8 K-cups supplied. All the dozens of spare pods in the cabinet were the smaller size for Nespresso machines and not usable in the Keurig.

Everything went super well and the host was very helpful for when we had issues. The only issue we had was there were a few unclean things.

Chicago 5day trip This charming apartment was perfect for the 4 of us. It is a very short walk to the Green CTA train station. It was a quick 25-30 minute train ride to downtown Chicago. The CTA ticket was 5 dollars a day and lets you ride all the trains and buses. There is a wonderful breakfast spot across from the train station. It is a quiet, clean, safe neighborhood. Moe was very quick to answer any questions. The apartment was spacious and had everything we needed.

Cleanliness This experience was not pleasant. The host would not give me any check in details till an hour before i arrived. I travelled 5 hours for a wedding and was trying to get checked in a few minutes early to get to the wedding on time and to order an uber. As I was traveling the host was not answer my text or I didn’t have great service. Either way I wanted to know ahead of time. When I arrived the place looked great till I entered the bathroom. The rugs were filthy there was a mesh plug bath sponge hanging in the shower and hair and dirt around the edge of the bathtub. No way I was taking a shower without cleaning it first. Then onto the kitchen. The fridge was full of old groceries that I would not use so I don’t know why they are left there and I wasn’t about to clean the fridge to use that either. The back door was unlocked so and I didn’t notice that untill I returned from my wedding, thank God no one was in there when we returned. The apartment was spacious and cute, beds very comfortable and was a nice neighborhood.

Excellent location, very spacious layout.Lots of items to be able to stay comfortably. Very comfortable beds and pillows very clean towels
