The location was great for my needs. I picked William's place mainly because I wanted to be able to walk to the Fox River to fish often for smallmouth bass. It was a pleasure being able to do this. Plus William is very responsive, which goes a long way toward making the stay enjoyable. I hope to be able to stay there again next year!

Amazing house in a very good location. William was really quick about replying for any issues. I definitely had a good time and the roommates at my time were very exceptional as well. We were really glad to stay here.

Great!

Great!

Great!

Nice and quiet place near historical downtown of Aurora. Brand new furniture, kitchen and bathroom facilities. Close to public transit, free parking on premises. Very helpful and welcoming host.

Very clean, cozy stay.

Very clean and nice house. Very nicely decorated.

I rented this for my son while he was traveling across the country. We were able to book very last minute. The host met my son and gave him suggestions for dinner. He had a nice, safe place to rest for the night! Thanks again for the hospitality!

Super clean and well accommodated. All the amenities one could ask for, gracious host, very nice neighborhood, truly look forward to staying here again anytime we are in the area. Couldn't ask for a better stay or a better host.

Great place to stay!

Enjoy stay in

Easy to find, comfortable, clean, and everything good. There is nothing negative I could share about this experience. All positives. I would absolutely stay here again!

Very clean & great location. Nice neighborhood and would definitely recommend. Wonderful communicating on the hosts part!

It's home away from home. Expect to have a great stay, can't match staying in a hotel.

Great Hospitality, amazing place with best value. Highly recommended!

Sparkling clean bathroom, personal refrigerator in the room and comfy bed. Enjoyed having the fan to sleep every night.

Gisselle is a very kind hostess who cares a lot about making sure that her guests have the best stay possible.

Very great place , make you feel like home.

Gisselles home is gorgeous! My stay was brief as I was in town to work the NHRA races, I met Gisselle and family during my very late check-in & never heard or saw anyone the rest of the weekend. Very quiet & clean! User friendly keypad, towels available, mini fridge, a cool charging tree (never seen one before).

Beautiful house in a quiet neighborhood. The family was very quiet, respectful, and friendly. Everything was very clean and tidy and I felt very comfortable. The mattress on the bed is very soft, it worked well for me but might not for someone who has back pain/concerns. I was traveling alone and felt safe during my stay here, overall a great experience, I would definitely choose to stay with Gisselle again.

Excellent clean room with very nice owner to provide what to expect for renter. You don't need to search another one because this is the one you want to stay. Please be nice to the owner.

Comfortable space with everything you need for a night's rest, and very nice people. They were also very understanding when we wanted to visit downtown Chicago which was about 40 mins drive away, on New Years Eve (we didn't get back until after 2am). Nice quiet suburban area. Would recommend for a quick stay while visiting Chicago.

Tom and Melissa are friendly and hospitable. I felt very safe and comfortable.

Thanks

Simple check-in, great for overnight stay/sleep!

Quiet, nice place to relax. lovely friendly hosts. Everything is clean, neat. Warm and cozy! I recommend!

Tom and Melissa were awesome!!

It's a great place to stay!

It was way better than I expected and the room was comfortable as well. it was easy to check in and communication with Tom and Melissa was easy as they responded in a timely way.

Perfect, cozy place!!! Was exactly what I needed for a two week training away from home! Had everything you needed Plus some!! Was also very close to lots of shopping and restaurants within 5-15 minute drive!!

Great place to stay!

Dick is a great host and this is a very nice spot right by the express way in case you are coming or going anywhere, also the outlet mall is a hop and skip away. Definitely recommend!

Small apartment-like condo. You won't find another in the area for the price. Dick is an excellent host!

Check in/ out process was a breeze. Very clean space, it was perfect for our stay!

Great place to stay,good location

Great host, condo had everything we needed, comfy and safe!

Incredibly brilliant condo unit at a fantastic price. It was clean, very spacious, with everything you need. I found the location great for getting to various spots such as downtown Naperville, public transport to downtown Chicago, and within driving distances of attractions including Starved Rock. I will be travelling to the area again in the near future so will definitely look to book again. Dick was always quick to respond regarding the booking/questions and made me feel welcome on my first trip to the US. Top bloke. Can't fault the accommodation or stay at all.

This was a perfect stop during my long road trip, very welcoming and cozy.

Barb is an awesome hostess. You can never go wrong choosing place.

Barb is a wonderfully warm host and her home is equally warm and cozy. High ratings!

Barb is a fantastic host. Her place was the perfect fit for my needs.

Barb was an excellent host - great location, nice room, and very affordadle option. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area!

Easy late night check in, Barb was very communicative prior to check in and very kind when I talked to her in the morning! Thank you!

Highly recommended! Barb is fantastic. I felt instantly at ease with her. Her home is very nice and clean, just as described. It was perfect, and an amazing value. If I'm ever passing through the Chicago area, I'll definitely check availability at Barb's first!

Great place to stay, with a good location in Joliet

Alex’s and his fiancées house was very clean and comfortable. It’s near downtown DeKalb and near NIU. They are both very friendly and will try to make you feel as comfortable as possible.

Great and easy stay, very responsive.

Very nice folks, very accommodating. Their home was clean and comfortable, would definitely stay again!

Nice Folks, enjoyed my stay and would stay again if I'm in the area.

Alex and Maria has such and inviting home. They were very respectful and we had some pleasant conversations. They are located close to NIU and not far from food and other activities. I enjoyed my stay.

Very clean! Comfortable bed. Nice hosts.

Provided exactly what I needed. Was incredibly accommodating after a canceled flight meant I had to miss the first night of my reservation. Would stay again.

Great and clean place with amazing people

Beautiful place we enjoyed our the stay

I had a wonderful month stay during April. The house is in an idyllic setting in a wooded area but close to the downtown and nearby stores. I spent a lot of time on the porch swing which was so relaxing. It was chilly while I was there and it was fun to make an indoor fire. (Tip: get some kindling from Home Depot.) The bathroom was lovely! The house was spotless when I arrived. Check-in was easy - a friend of theirs greeted me and helped me with my bags. The fresh flowers were a nice touch! Kaye and Ken were responsive, gracious, and kind hosts. I would have liked a little more detail in the listing about the amenities. The kitchen is pretty basic, which was fine, but I would have liked to know ahead of time. The wifi signal was weak, so I struggled with some basic navigation and watching video was out. I ended up going to the nearby library for some video calls I needed to make. Some things I got used to were the insects that naturally are going to be in a wooded area as well as the difficulty in adjusting the house temperature with extreme weather or quick changes in weather. (Maybe a space heater would be a nice add?) Overall, this was a wonderful experience and I would recommend this home!

"Perfect" truly doesn't grasp Just how delightful our stay was. The cabin is beautiful down to to the smallest detail. The area is very nice with every major store imaginable within just a few miles. The view of the Fox river is lovely and memorable. Kaye is a wonderful person who thinks of every comfort. Would definitely stay again!!! AAA+++

This place is a gem. Great cabin feeling but luxury abounds: heated floors, fantastic living room with a wood stove for the evenings, fireplace outside on the balcony; everything is just great. The hosts are very nice and accommodating. Very recommended to anyone going to the Batavia area. Everything was positive about this place.

We had a wonderful stay with Lisa. The private room at the bottom of the house allowed us to relax and rest for our cross country trip. The house was very dog friendly and made our trip a lot less stressful.

Our stay was fun and cozy! Lisa was a very kind and helpful host, who made sure that we had everything we needed. The space was clean, comfortable, and a great value! We also loved that we were able to bring our dog along with us— there was even a water dish and pet bed out ready for him upon our arrival!

Great spot for the price! You have your own basement apartment (entrance thru main house) with private patio. 10 minutes to down town Ottawa, and 20 minutes from Starved Rock and Matthiessen State Parks! Gorgeous drive to the Parks. Lisa is a very friendly and informative host. Would definitely come back.

Lisa has a wonderful home, it is both pet and people friendly :o) ! She is quick to respond, check in and out are a breeze, accommodations are comfortable! I would (and did) check availability whenever I am in need of a place to stay in her area! Thanks again Lisa!

Our stay at Lisa’s private apartment was great! The space was clean and thoughtfully crafted. The yard and property and beautiful and check in was very simple. It’s also a pet friendly space which was a huge selling point for us. Thanks for having us!

Lisa’s place is located off the freeway and is about 15-20 mins to everything the area has to offer. Lisa has great communication and is vert flexible from check-in to check-out. Her hospitality is outstanding and the place is really great. She had notes and helpful tips that helped us make our stay as comfortable as it can be.

This is quite an outstanding, well-priced lodging. You have the whole basement area to yourself, which is like a full suite with kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and living room combined. The bed in particular was very comfortable, and the whole place was clean and clearly well taken care of. Lisa is a very friendly and accommodating host, and seems to be able to provide just about anything you might need for your stay.

Very comfortable. Very homey. This is a great place to stop and relax if you’re out traveling or just wanna get away. Very peaceful. A great place if you travel with dogs. Lisa was very easy to work with and always got back to me promptly when I contacted her.

It’s 2 blocks from downtown and a few blocks from the local YMCA . House was great and no complaints from my family . Thanks again !

We enjoyed our stay very much. Jody went above and beyond to provide specific items I requested. We loved the beautiful living room and the comfy bed. There was a strong stream of hot water in the shower and plenty of towels. We would definitely stay here again.

Great place to stay, highly recommend... good caramels.

This is a really cozy, historical Airbnb. I would definitely recommend it

Jody was a very generous and friendly host. The unit was sparkling clean and well stocked for our family. We enjoyed all the personal touches throughout the home. The heat worked well on the cold and windy day. The location was great as it was near our extended family and walk-able to downtown. She had crayons and books for the kids. We look forward to returning as she progresses through restoring this house.

Great location. Quiet and safe neighborhood. Kitchen includes everything you would need to make meals. Thoughtful touches with candies and delicious baked goods upon arrival. The living room was a great place to unwind after a day of hiking. The couch is so comfortable!

Had an amazing time staying here, and also saved money by going to Jody's place instead of going to a hotel in the area. Easy check-in, great communication, and an overall amazing stay here 😊

Love the uniqueness of this apartment! Very charming and comfortable, not to mention a great value. It had everything we needed, including a well supplied kitchen. We will definitely be back in the future.

I stayed at this property in February on a work trip. Sanjay and his family are exceptional hosts. He was very responsive to all my communications with him and really went out of his way to make me feel welcome. He even brought me some dinner the night I arrived so I wouldn’t have to order in. The room was very comfortable and clean and everything worked as expected. The lake is right past the fence in the back yard as described and I expect at any other time of year would be really beautiful to wake up to. The kitchenette was simply laid out but I had everything I needed to make some easy dinners. This stay is not in walking distance to the local shops but all Ubers I called were there within 3-4 minutes and was a very convenient location to get to Warrenville, Naperville and Aurora. I will definitely be back and would highly recommend this property for others to stay.

Sanjay's place was great. It was clean, comfortable and quiet. Exactly what I needed. Sanjay was there to meet me at check in and checked in on me throughout the week. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Sanjay’s place is excellent! It’s well kept, very clean and pretty spacious. As a host, Sanjay is super welcoming and helpful and consistently checks in to make sure your stay is going smoothly! I’d definitely recommend if you’re looking to stay in and around Naperville as it’s easy to get to and has plenty of stores/restaurants nearby.

I had an excellent stay at Sanjay's place. Everything was perfect. Sanjay and his family are the kindest and the property was very well maintained. I had a relaxing stay after a long flight.

Very clean and safe location. Host is very kind and helpful. Excellent response time and checks on you to see if you are on. Highly recommend!

Sanjay was super friendly and welcoming. One of the best airbnbs I have stayed at. His hospitality was super and it felt like I was staying at an old friend’s place. The guest house is very private and you get your own bathroom and mini kitchen as well. Throughly enjoyed my stay here and I would highly recommend this place.

Very clean, private room with a beautiful bathroom too. Attached to the house, but with separate entrance and key-less lock system. Sanjay was a great host, easy to communicate with, and attentive to details.

Great experience, the view it was breath taking. definitely worth every penny. Love it

Super great place, friendly, accurately described and also a well decorated place.

Eric's basement is spacious, clean, and beautifully remodeled. The bedroom is plenty big. The mattress is firm, lots of blankets. The ceiling fan is perfect. Minimal noise from upstairs. Dogs were friendly and adorable but we are dog lovers. My favorite part was the bathroom. The heated floors were a nice touch along with the shower with jets. The cost of this place was fair and affordable. Allowed us plenty of extra spending money to explore and do multiple activities. Very friendly host and family and they allowed us to come and go as needed. Would love to stay again sometime! Thanks again Eric!

Basement pretty stylish and bathroom is great

Very spacious and clean finished basement space with a comfortable atmosphere! We had a great experience and would absolutely recommend it to anyone staying in the area.

Eric's place exceeded our expectations and I highly recommend it.

Great night at Eric’s place.

Eric’s home was a perfect place to lay my head while visiting family in the area. The space is huge, with soft and warm immaculately clean carpet. I had the place to myself, but there is plenty of space for more people to sleep with privacy, if needed. The twin bed alcove is separate from the queen bedroom, and separate from the sofas. Clean and spacious walk in shower, and toiletries in a basket available, which came in handy. Bed and bedding were very comfortable. Easy and friendly communication. And of course Cooper!!! Very sweet dog. Thank you!

Eric’s place is clean, quiet, and comfortable with lots of space. The town is quaint with nice places to eat and drink. Also easy access to shopping and restaurants near by. This was our second stay but not the last

The space is super nice, comfortable and very clean. Coleen was such a great host. She made sure I knew how to get around the city and was very quick about getting back to me. Would stay again next time I’m i. The area

Colleen is a wonderful host and communicates well. The accommodations are clean and quiet, and the queen bed is very comfortable. Perfect for a good night's sleep. I highly recommend this place.

Colleen was a gracious and helpful host. The rooms were nice and it felt very private. It was close to the Metra station which made transportation so much easier.

Post is accurate. Quick and easy communication. Friendly. Great host!

Fabulous stay! Amazing host too! I would most definitely recommend staying at Colleen’s AirBNB!

Colleen is super friendly and welcoming and makes you feel right at home in her place. Her house is spacious, clean, and comfortable. Highly recommended!

Would very much recommend Colleen. She was very communicative, very thoughtful, and the place was quiet, clean and easy to get to. High review.

This place was wonderful...easy check in and out, clean, comfortable and even private when needed. Wonderful

Good place to stay. Clean and a good value; good location. The bed I stayed in was extremely comfortable, and the room was well laid-out.

Very nice place, clean and very close to NIU campus.

Lots of appreciations for quick response.

Yiou was awesome!

Great host! Very welcoming. I would recommend to anyone.

nice place, cleat with great art touches. Yiou was great host a great communicator and fast responser. i would definitely stay in Yiou place again.

Good place to stay in a student-house.

Yiou is a fabulous host!

Beautiful place and awesome host!

I stayed at Exaud’s place overnight and he and his family were very welcoming and hospitable. The place was clean and the bed is big and comfortable. Recommended.

His response time was rapid! He and his wife were extremely polite and very friendly. They welcomed me in like I have been a friend for years. They had very nice touches for the decor. The house was very big, the bed was memory foam and i slept like a baby! They are very close to local stores! I would definitely recommend.

Great place and great host

Fantastic hospitality! Exaud and his wife were very warm and friendly. Felt right at home.

Very great stay, value amazing for price. And super friendly.

I had a amazing stay at Exaud's place. Very easy to find the house. Many restaurants are just few miles away and if you like to make your own food than worry not Exaud allows to use the kitchen for cooking (plus point for me) The bedroom and bathroom were clean. I enjoyed my stay and looking forward visit again. I would recommend this place.

Nice Place in the town of Morris. Everything is close by including shopping and entertainment.

Esther is a thoughtful and caring host with a great little suite. It’s in a great spot near the canal with beautiful views as you walk along the river. It’s within walking distance of some restaurants and a coffee shop as well as some great boutique shops downtown.

I stayed in this location for over a month and it worked out extremely well. Never had an issue with the shared bathrooms, and Esther is an very accommodating and friendly host.

Esther was a kind host, who left me to my own affairs unless something came up. I stayed for over a month with no issues. Laundromat services are 5 minutes away, with lots of great restaurants in the area.

Nice place to stay. It was as advertised. Nicely decorated for the holidays. Clean with some extra perks like the candy bowl, bottled water etc We will stay again.

An extremely clean and comfortable suite. The kitchen appliances are great and the tv choices were numerous.

Amazing. Warm. Welcoming space. The backyard is spectacular. I can’t say enough about this!!!!

Cute, clean and very friendly, responsive hosts! Definitely recommend their place

Loved it!! Great location, quite and private apartment. Steve and Beth ...so warm and friendly. We had a mini reunion there and Beth helped with the set up!! We will be back!

You can expect the hosts to be friendly and courteous. The deck and back yard are the common areas that are exceptional providing a place to relax and unwind. The basement living area is clean with all the appliances you would expect.

My wife and I really enjoyed our 3 night stay with Beth & Steve - it coincided with the Sandwich Fair (first full weekend of September), which is always a good time. Although we live in Oregon now, it’s a treat to return to Illinois on occasion to visit family in the area. Beth is a vivacious hostess and warmly greeted us on arrival. She led us to a tidy and well-furnished basement apartment accessed through the family’s garage and down a short stair. We appreciated the thoughtful touches in the space (candies, coffee maker, sodas & waters, toiletries...). Also liked the privacy, the full kitchen and the spacious bathroom (with hot shower). There’s a large yard and wooden deck (accessed through the laundry room); in nicer weather we could have grilled or used the swimming pool, but it was cooler and wetter than usual. We were really happy with the accommodations, location in town and the nightly price (especially compared to the one main hotel in town, which was more than double the cost for the Fair weekend). I recommend grocery shopping down the street at Art’s Supermarket and dining at the Bull Moose, both maybe 1/2 mile south on Main Street. Great experience - would gladly return! Thanks, B&S

Great space with very accommodating hosts. I was traveling with my dog and they gave her full use of the fenced in backyard. Great accommodation as well with lots of useful touches. Highly recommend.

I had a great time at Kimberly’s home. The communication was super easy and quick, and Kimberly was there when needed. The place looks exactly like it does in the pictures. She made the stay very comfortable. The neighborhood is very conveniently located to where I needed to go to daily and the neighborhood is very quiet! Would absolutely recommend staying there!

Very cozy place and Kim was very kind to allow last minute booking.

Great family and nice house! Responded very quickly to my request!

This is a very nice place to stay. A very inviting family and the bed was super comfortable. I would recommend this place if you are needing accommodations in Yorkville.

I had a great couple of weeks at Tom's and Melissa's place. It was my first time booking on airbnb, so I was a little nervous, but everything went great. Check-In was quick and simple, and Tom and Melissa were both very nice. Communication was also very fast. Would definitely book again!

Great place reasonable cost, close to everything..

Great hosts

Easy access and clean place

Tom and Melissa’s place was as advertised. Shared bathrooms, private bedroom. Fast and simple check in and check out!

comfy bed, great value

It was super clean and really quiet

The host is very friendly and accommodating! I stayed for a longer period of time and felt very welcome in this home.

Staying in this room was great and perfectly suited my needs. I am a student and currently bouncing around airbnbs. My room overlooked the street with many windows and was bigger than I expected. It had an ample amount of space and drawers under the bed, in the night stand, and in the provided desk. It also has a "walk-in" closet (but only 2 clothes hangers). It had an A/C unit that made the hot, humid evenings much more manageable. There are 3 other rooms in this building, so the bathroom and kitchen are shared with those people. This room is the furthest away from the bathroom and was overall pretty quiet. I only ran into 1 of the roommates 2 times, so I lucked out with not having rambunctious people. It was easy figuring out everyone's schedule and I almost never had an issue needing to use the bathroom or cooking while someone else was using the space. The kitchen had everything I needed and there was always space in the freezer, fridge, and cabinets. People are expected to do their own dishes, take out the trash, and supply their own soap, toilet paper, etc (because we are there for at least 1 month). A pleasant lady thoroughlycleaned the apartment when one of the other people left (so i would guess its cleaned once a month?). But I never felt like the kitchen or bathroom was disgusting, it really just depends who you are staying with. Overall, if you are open to having random roommates but having a great space, then stay here! I wish I would have stayed longer! The value was comparable to splitting a 2 bedroom apartment near my school but minimal commitment. Thanks!

Space was as expected and great a value. Communication was great also.

William is a great host that provides a quality residence and excellent communication!

Amazing stay. Everything fully renovated and new. Very clean and very relaxed. Just the flexibility with the host I give 10 stars. I'll deff be a return customer

Very clean. Everything is new

Loved this place and would stay again. The proximity to town was great. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and listening to the roosters and woodpeckers. (Couldn’t heard them from inside🤗.). Being unplugged for a weekend was great.

We really enjoyed our stay at this adorable home! The location is very quiet yet still close to the downtown shopping and restaurants. We appreciated the holiday decor, the space was spotless, and the host obviously takes great care of the space. We hope to be back soon!

We loved this little house for a wintry weekend at Starved Rock. It's the perfect location for wandering by foot into Utica for food, drink, shopping, and friendly conversation, for strolling up the canal path, or for a quick drive into any of the parks. We cooked meals in the large, well-stocked kitchen, read and played games by the ambiance of the space heater/faux fireplace (so sweet!), slept wonderfully (it's quiet!), and sat on the porch in the sun to admire the gorgeous sycamores and maples and their frequent bird visitors. There are neighbors next door, but it felt very quaint and quiet and was a perfect city getaway.

This was a really nice, cozy place within walking distance to Utica and minutes from Starved Rock. It was nice to have a full kitchen, and the electric fireplace was awesome. I left wanting to come back!

Aron's farmhouse was an amazing stay. A quaint house on the outskirts of town. A short walk from Utica's charming main strip. Beautiful views of the night sky unobstructed by light pollution. The warm touches truly made us feel like we were at a home away from home. We loved walking to Lodi's for drinks in the evening and Nonie's for a delicious breakfast and homemade pastries. It was a peaceful getaway from city life. We loved our stay and hope to come back soon!

What a cozy, charming home! Perfect for a weekend getaway to explore local state parks like Starved Rocks. Well supplied amenities, convenient location yet also secluded, and beautiful.

We love the location, right on the I&M canal; a short walk to Utica, just a couple miles from Starved Rock. For a small house, the kitchen and dining room are great. We cooked dinner and breakfast and found everything we needed. We will stay here again, for sure.

This is a very special home and we really enjoyed our stay here! Very thoughtful holiday touches were around the house that made it even more homelike. I can see where there may be a little confusion getting to the house as there is a Do Not Enter sign on Towpath Rd, but it is okay to go down that road if you are supposed to be there, lol! Great communication - highly recommend this place!

Cute place right next to the historic downtown area. Great for short walking distances. Very nice hosts. Would stay again!

Esther could not have been more welcoming and helpful. The apartment was absolutely clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful host and a very cozy place!

The apartment was big clean large clean and everything i needed while i was in town for work

Excellent place to stay

Esther was extremely kind, she was truly a breath of fresh air to do business with. She picked up the phone whenever I called, she took the time to get to know a little more about me and overall she was an amazing host with a beautiful apartment! 10/10 I would stay here again!

Esther’s was great. She met us immediately when we arrived and was a great host. Would definitely recommend!

I love this place!

Super clean, good location. Quick check-in. They are good communicators before, during and after the stay.

This place was superb from cleanliness to small touches to communication. Will definitely stay again. Thanks for the custard...yummy.

It was great.

This place is great, well kept and can definetly tell owners take pride in making their guests stay the best possible. This place is very organized.

Great for the price and super clean

This is the cutest little space! Absolutely spotless and decorated so well. It was perfect for my boyfriend and I for the night. It’s just a quick Uber ride to Rialto Square Theater and the restaurants and bars in that area. Brady and Joy have a great place, and their communication leading up to our stay was so thoughtful and helpful. Definitely recommend!

Nice little house on a quiet street that's in a great location for activities downtown. The hosts are very responsive, and provided plenty of snacks and drinks for our stay. Would stay again!

Our family of four had a week long stay at the Coach House. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Brady and Joy were great hosts and very quick to respond in our correspondence. They accommodated us with a pack n play and high chair for our baby. Our kids loved the toy box and children’s books. The Roku TVs were top notch. We loved the claw foot bathtub and the chandeliers made the bedrooms feel fancy! Thoughtful touches like a designated parking space, lighted walkway, and nightlights throughout were very appreciated. Looking forward to our next stay!

Mary and Fran were such wonderful hosts! We booked their private riverfront room for a weekend getaway and couldn’t have been happier with the value for such a beautiful view. Their local food suggestions were spot on and they were so quick to respond to any questions I had. We even mentioned we were planning to go hiking and Mary put out some ice grips for our shoes. Highly recommend this place!

Thank you Mary for having us! Overall your hospitality, detailed directions and quick communication were greatly appreciated. We also loved watching the barges on the river from our window!

The pictures does injustice to how beautiful this place is. To top it off Mary and Fran are the sweetest and the most awesome host you could ever find. My stay felt like being at home. Mary and Fran are super fun to talk to and also to hangout with. I could not have asked for a better place to stay in Ottawa.

Make you feel at home. Very generous and welcoming. I have asked them for a reservation in a short notice situation and Mary was very quick to respond and complied with my request. Such a beautiful and well cleaned home. Very comfortable bed and beautiful view of the river. I will be staying again!

Mary’s place was great, like having a private apartment within the house. Lots of helpful advice on what to do in Starved Rock and a friendly easy-going vibe. Highly recommend.

Mary's place is cozy, comfortable and convenient. Spectacular view! You will not be disappointed.

Mary and Fran's place was lovely! Quiet, peaceful and a welcome respite for us during our travels and while tending to family obligations. Mary was very responsive whenever we had a question or a need. The restaurant suggestions provided where spot on! I totally recommend this place if you are in the area and would like a quiet peaceful place to stay.

The place is awesome! It is a very clean and stylish place and has everything you need. Mary responded to all our queries promptly and we had a very nice experience. She also included notes about places to eat and things to do which came in very handy. Would definitely stay here again :)

Clean, quiet, comfortable, thinks of everything. We recommend.

Marta is a great host, very quick to respond to everything. Checked with us often to make sure everything was going well. Worked great for an extended stay. Highly recommend.

A nice quiet place for the weekend. Complete privacy, Marta was quick to reply back, dog friendly.

Wonderful hidden location.

Marta’s place was great, and in a perfect location. My fiancée and I are from St. Charles and still have lots of family in the area so we visit often. We have two dogs that can sometimes make doing so difficult, but Marta’s place is pet friendly and was a perfect solution for us! We will definitely be back. Thanks again!

Beautiful setting near town but far enough away that it’s very quiet and peaceful. Marta is an exceptional host. Her home is very clean and welcoming. Thanks for a great week!

Clean and cozy. The sheets are so soft!

Extremely clean and hospitable, the apartment was very cozy and has everything you could need. A very quiet, private area that’s close to a lot, I couldn’t ask for a better stay. Marta was very friendly and helpful and always quick to respond, definitely a super host.

Place is really good for a night stay by the university. Also, Tanya was very quick at her response and communicates really well.

This room was affordable and perfect for my travel needs, with a late night arrival and an early morning departure.

Good place to stay near university. Bed size is comfortable and good for one. Wifi will be a value add for working professional, should consider this request.

I 'll definitely try to reserve Tanya's room again the next time I have a meeting nearby.

Nice place, easy check in and space to park the car.

Can’t say enough good things about this place. I arrived later in the evening and never got to meet Tanya. But she always felt close by, with all necessary communication and later she quietly dropped off some things I needed but had forgotten to ask for. Self check-in was smooth and flawless after finding wide open parking on the street just outside the front door. The house is in a charming old small town American neighborhood, the kind that coaxes you to take a good long walk around the blocks after a demanding drive. The room is a good size and airy, with screened windows that slide open easily—plenty of fresh air. The bed was super comfortable for me, including extra blankets on the shelf for the cool October night. I got the good night’s sleep I so much needed. There were some good things to read while sitting in the dormer window seat with first coffee of the morning, looking out the front windows into tall trees not quite yet in their full autumn colors. I enjoyed the swimmers pattern on the bath towel. And thanks, Tanya, I very much appreciated the good selection of shampoos and body wash in the shower. All in all, very charming, comfortable and appropriate to my needs.

Good deal for a place to stay! Was clean and met expectations.

Great host.

Great hosts! The space was nice and the value was great.

As always surpassed my expectations. Cozy and comfortable stay. Thank you!!

Claudio and Svea’s place is truly a cozy cottage! It’s cute, warm and inviting... just as they are. I’m glad I was able to stay with them!

Very generous and communicative hosts, full of amenities, sparkling clean, and privacy if you need it. Claudio and Svea were great, their place was great and I wish more people & places where like this.

Claudio & Svea are outstanding hosts. They sure know to Air Bnb. The place was immaculate, cozy and full of surprises. We were very impressed with the attention to detail. There was a minibar, breakfast goodies, coffee machine, and even little chocolates on our towels, which by the way, are the fluffiest towels we’ve ever used. There was a even a visitor’s guide to the area full of suggestions. Be sure to browse through the book of useless facts found in the bathroom. Thank you Claudio & Svea. Your AirBnb set a pretty high standard for us.

Excellent spot.

They take care of you. Whatever you are needing.

Claudio and Sven do an amazing job with their space! It was so cozy, plus great complementary snacks and drinks perfect for the weary traveler. I would for sure stay again!

We have stayed in many Airbnb homes and this has by far been the best for the price. The home was decent sized (perfect for our family of 4), sparkling clean and most importantly very cozy! What we enjoyed most were the comfortable beds, nice linens and plenty of extra pillows. :o) We will definitely be back!

To quote my girlfriend: "I wasn't sure what to expect because of the surrounding houses and the location, but everything inside was super clean and modern."

A nice quiet place to rent out near starve rock!

This stay was so much better then I expected! The inside is so nice spacious and comfortable. Suzie really provides everything you could need. She was also very accommodating about check in/check out times which really helped as I am a night shift worker - definitely a life saver and I would stay again!

The house is very comfortable, best thing I can say it felt like home

Nice cozy place. Stayed long term and am not disappointed. Suzy is a fantastic host!

Suzie's home worked perfect for us. Went to starved rock and wanted a place to stay overnight. Extremely clean and totally comfortable. Loved Suzie's decor choices which gave a great feel to the place. Best night sleep I've had in a while. Very comfortable bed and bedding. Thank you for the great space!

Cozy place with great kitchen and comfortable beds. Great location and very accommodating host. I would stay here again!

Megan is a top-notch host. You can expect your stay to reflect her reviews! Enjoy the amazing coffee shop across the street and sit along the Fox river benches (100 yards from your doorstep) and reflect on your amazing decision for booking this stay.

Great place! Very clean and the host was excellent! Very good location!

Another enjoyable stay.

Absolutely gorgeous space! Very conveniently located and incredibly clean. Highly recommend!!

Amazing place, really comfy.

The apartment is brand new and very nice. One of the best Airbnb’s we’ve stayed at.

Fully furnished & as stylish as it was clean, - this Downtown apartment was a treat to stay in. The Christmas light around the city were magical and parking was so convenient as it was just across the street from the front door. Megan's recommendation to catch coffee in the morning at local brew hotspot, Society 57, was great too!

The condo was stunning and Megan was so easy to communicate with! The bed was beyond cozy and parking across the street was so convenient. We will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our stay. Please see my other review.

Gwendolyn was a great host and responded immediately and helped me out when I notified her I’d misplaced the keys, which were safely found in my SUB. The home is very cozy and the stay was very relaxing her variety of coffee and teas make the perfect morning kickstart.

My boyfriend and I loved staying here! The house was very quaint, in a great neighborhood, and very clean. Had a great time, perfect for our visit!

Great place to stay ! Super close to campus and beautiful home!

Very homey place, located next to NIU and within walking distance to coffee shops. Excellent value.

This place is adorable. The only thing that I would say was a little bit tricky was figuring out where to park but after some analyzing we noticed the lines on the driveway but it was very close quarters for parking. we would stay here again !

Wow, where do I even start?! we opted to stay at Gwendolyn's because the room looked very clean, the price was very reasonable and it was close to where we wanted to be. little did we know it was MUCH more than we expected! she has thought of everything. We enjoyed every nuance of this beautiful old home. We thoroughly enjoyed the oppertunity to cook our own meals sit out in the screened porch area or even sit in the large sitting room and play games. but best of all, the beds are soooooooo comfy! Thank you for a wonderful stay! we will be back!

Great place to relax over the weekend! We loved drinking complimentary coffee and tea on the front porch, and enjoyed staying in such a cute historic home. Thank you so much for your hospitality!
