Music Hot Spot Berwyn/Oak Park

The property was very clean, It is conveniently located. Parking is on the street which posed a bit of a challenge. Mrs. Olsen was very responsive.

We loved our stay. It was in a fun little neighborhood conveniently located close to public transportation and easy parking.

Rose and her husband were extremely welcoming. They were there to greet us when we arrived and were very hospitable. It felt like we made friends in Chicago. The space was cozy and met all our needs. If you stay here, keep in mind it’s an older city home and it’s right next to a bustling bar. That means people and sounds. We enjoyed the music and still managed to sleep in late. Lots of stuff within walking distance. And was only about 20-35m drive downtown depending on traffic and what part. Lyft was about $30 to downtown River tours. We’d stay here again if we ever need a place in Chicago.

Genuinely could not ask for a better place to stay at for a weekend. Would've stayed longer if we could

I debated writing this review, but want to give people the truth. Rose was very nice, but the stay was not. We had issues from the very beginning with some sort of glitch in the app with the directions bringing us to a different house like 6 blocks away. We had to call Vrbo because we thought it was a scam. After finally getting a hold of Rose, there were issues with the lockbox code and getting into the house. The backyard that was pictured was nicely set up and looked nice. But in person it was all torn up like it was under construction with trash and junk everywhere. Entering the landing/stairs there was trash and junk everywhere as well. The smell was horrible. Entering the porch to the actual unit the cleanliness was a little better, but even had a box with writing that said mom's, don't throw away. It seemed like the house was left to the family after a parent's death. All the junk should've been completely cleaned out before renting it out if that was the case. Not even just based on the appearance, but it was also a tripping hazard. The unit itself looked like the pictures for the most part, but it smelled bad aside from the bleach in the bathroom. We even bought incense to burn along with a candle that was already there. There was no coffee or much of anything that was mentioned we could take advantage of as a perk. The blankets on the bed were just throw blankets (1 for each bed) which were tiny and then had sheets. Luckily it was only 1 person in each bed. There is a bar next door that plays music on speakers outside from morning to very late night. Being night owls we didn't mind it, but when we were trying to get our rest in the morning, they started playing it and woke us up. Location was decent, but that's about it. We tried making the most of it, but it ruined our trip. I actually would like a refund, but didn't even want to bother dealing with this experience after leaving that last day. Just wanted to forget all about it, but I keep getting these notifications to review it. I'm sorry Rose, but it was terrible.

I found this property to be adorable and quirky! The host was more than accommodating, the apartment was clean, well stocked with extra items and truly really nice. I would have NO PROBLEM staying here again and highly reccommend!!

I stayed at this property due to a delay in the closing on my new house. The hosts were exceedingly accommodating, quick to reply, and I honestly can't say enough positive about my experience. Experience. This is the first VRBO that I have rented. And if I ever have the need again, I will go directly back to VRBO. I've moved across country so unfortunately I can't stay at their property again. But I would in a heartbeat.

Very cute property. Convenient to many restaurants and music venues! Had a wonderful stay with my son. Great restaurants and music!
