Private room in Oak Park

Single bedroom with Asian decor in family home

SophiaRating, 5 stars3 days ago

I was only in town very briefly, but this was the perfect place to stay. The hosts were very easy to get a hold of and flexible. I walked to take the blue line very easily, and there was a nice grocery store I checked out as well as some nice looking restaurants along the walk. I would definitely stay here again!

The Albany Park Room at the Cape Cod in Riverside

GianfrancoRating, 5 stars1 week ago

I had an amazing experience staying at this Airbnb! From the moment I arrived, everything exceeded my expectations. The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described—if not better. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and all the little touches (like fresh towels and local recommendations) made it feel like a home away from home. The host was outstanding—friendly, responsive, and genuinely committed to making sure I had a great stay. Check-in and check-out were seamless, and they went above and beyond to accommodate any questions I had. The location was perfect: quiet and peaceful, but still close to restaurants, shops, and everything I wanted to explore. Whether you’re traveling for business or a getaway, I highly recommend this place. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Luxurious apartment in great central location!

TevinRating, 5 stars1 week ago

The airbnb was such a cozy environment and honestly I was a little sad to leave it. It really started to feel like home after staying for 2 weeks. Aldo was a wonderful host and answered any questions I had very quickly. He was very kind and accommodating with any questions that I had. I 100% recommend and hope this place is available the next time I visit!
