I often don’t write reviews but I felt that it was important to do so in this case so that I could help my fellow travellers.
The inside of the house is great. It is well-kept, stylish, comfortable and clean. The check-in process was easy and the host was accommodating.
However, beware of the title of the listing which is designed to mislead. It states which neighbourhood the property is close to (Oak Park) but not the neighbourhood it is actually in: Austin. One quick Google search would reveal that it is one of the worst neighbourhoods in Chicago and there is tough competition in that realm. Oak Park, on the other hand, is one of the safest neighbourhoods of Chicago. I do my due diligence before picking where I stay but even I was fooled.
Had the title been clear about where the property is, I would have no complaints because I would have made an informed decision. Anyone choosing to stay here should know what they are getting themselves into.
I would only recommend this to those who do not mind ordering food/groceries to their door and will be spending the majority of their time indoors. I do not recommend being outside in Austin as a tourist, especially at night.
