Homestay in Oak Park, United States
Hosting students and travelers for the last 18 years has been wonderful for me.
My home is filled with lots of opportunities for communication, because of all the cultures. And, it's also the perfect environment to study, rest and rejuvenate. It's Peaceful!
I'm self employed, love travel and enjoy spending time with everyone, whenever possible. And, I love the experiencing daily life here as a family. I love laughter, the arts and our gatherings for family nights inside the house and our family outings.
Each bedroom in my home is private.. The kitchen and bathrooms are shared. We have no house keeper, so everyone is responsible for making sure the areas they use are left nice for the rest of us to enjoy as well.
Our home is only one block from the green line train, 30 minutes from downtown Chicago and about 35 minutes from both airports. Pete's Fresh Market is our grocery store, which has delicious cooked foods as well.
Washing is my contact page'll need detergent and we use a bi-weekly washing schedule, so you'll want to bring enough clothing to last or buy once you arrive. Massage us a couple days early for the date and time you'd like.
Our neighborhood is also wonderful and diverse, full of ethnic restaurants and activities, there's even a movie theater and all within a reasonable distance.
Connor is our very handsome and kind cat, who usually keeps to himself and is not allowed in the kitchen or on the upper levels.
If an airport pickup is needed, it is $50 and must be reserved in advance. Also Blue cab, Uber/Lyft and public transportation are also options to arrive at our home.
We invite you to video chat and hope to hear from you soon...
