Courageous Bakery and Café as well as Mulata Kitchen Coffee offer an excellent alternatives to Starbucks on Lake. Mulata has a good small cappuccino, whereas the Courageous Bakery will pour up a larger cup. Both are excellent.!
The Mural Project of the Village is an excellent destination for a morning walk. This excellent street art can be found on either side of the blue line. Wonderful, strong expressions.
If you choose to head south on Oak Park, you will soon run into the Nobel Prize winning author Earnest Hemingway’s birth place. Given an opportunity …
Kettil and Caroline were outstanding hosts. Communication was very responsive. The house is just like the pictures and very nice. The location is absolutely perfect, 2 blocks from the Oak Park high street and L station with easy connections to the rest of Chicago. It is a few doors down from the Hemingway Birthplace and a couple of blocks from the Frank Lloyd Wright home and studio. An ideal place and location to stay when visiting Oak Park.
This was a great place for our short getaway. We came up here for a band gig, so it was nice to have a place we all could stay together. The beds were comfy and the space was enjoyable. The historical neighborhood made it great to walk around! The host are very friendly and responsive, which made it a better place for us! We are planning to return to this place for a longer stay!
A wonderful and spacious apartment that is a very close walk to some of Oak Park's best shops and restaurants and in a beautiful neighborhood. Our hosts were very accommodating and we very much appreciated their warm welcome and clear communication. We look forward to returning!
Kettil and Caroline's home was beautiful! Every room matched to pictures perfectly. Such a great charm to this house. Even though our stay was short my family enjoyed it and wished we could have stayed longer. Easy access with simple instructions. Located in a beautiful and safe neighborhood. Always received a quick response from Kettil with any questions we had. We have stayed at a number of Airbnbs in the Caribbean, Europe and Iceland and I would put this towards the top of the list for great experience.
