What Our Guests Are Saying

  • A comfortable, quiet and well appointed space. Peaceful neighborhood and yet close to several great commercial areas. Phil communicated well and often, including responding quickly to a handful of issues with the unit that I discovered upon arriving. The unit itself is the basement level of a home, so small windows with limited natural light, but otherwise comfortable for a short stay.

  • Great stay!

  • Place looks as shown in photos, nice centralized area in Forest Park, only 20ish minute drive from The Loop Chicago, would highly recommend to few friends or small family. Phil and his team are great hosts.
