STAY HERE. Medical student doing clinicals
Great house in a very nice, safe, neighborhood. Everything is 10 minutes waking distance (including 3 grocery stores) or nothing is a really far drive -maybe 15 minutes, even to clinicals. I went down to the city a lot on the train (4 blocks walk from house). Room is comfortable with everything needed. Clean and quiet. I stayed for 12 weeks. This is by far my favorite room stay I have done in the last 2 years. Really nice owner. I did some movies at the local theatre and tried some restaurants with her. She's great! Nice and friendly. Definitely keeping in touch and I hope I can come back. Very comfortable stay - really nice house and nice area to be in. Oh, there are huge, beautiful Victorian houses and 100 year old trees everywhere if you like to take walks.
wonderful stay
I had a fantastic stay as I was working at Argonne for 6 weeks. La Grange is beautiful and safe. Metra train to Argonne 4 blocks from house plus on weekends I took it into the city with no problems. The house is lovely and clean. The owner is so welcoming and helpful. I enjoyed her company. The room is comfortable and has huge windows with lots of air flow. The house is quiet and anything you need just ask. I highly recommend staying here.
Stay here! Great area and nice people.
La Grange is beautiful and very walkable. Everything is close and easy. Beautiful big old houses and tons of trees if you like walking. My room was perfect. Comfortable bed and lots of blankets, clean, big desk, quiet house, cozy and K the owner is great! Very kind and helpful. I did a clinical at Loyola Hospital and it was like a 7 minute drive. Always came back to a big smile and K asking if I need anything. She makes the best homemade pizza and will do pizza nights. I asked K if I get my residency at Loyola if I can come and live with her. One of the best places I have stayed.
Review from a Medical Student doing Away Rotations
Kathleen was very welcoming and helpful. My room was everything that I needed. As a nervous medical student, she even drove me by the hospital the day before the start of my rotation and gave me useful information about the campus, it was a gesture above and beyond what I would have expected any host to do for me. She is in a safe area and convenient distance to Loyola. It was a consistent and reliable stay. She was great to get to know. Great to watch sports with as well! Thank you Kathleen for the stay!
Perfect for a Traveler
Great neighborhood to be in. My contract is at 2 locations. Chicago and Hinsdale, and it works great for me to be able to get to both places. Rooms are great, and it has that homey feel. Traveled for 5 years, and this ranks as one of my top places to stay.
Argonne Labs - Great Place to Stay!
I am a Phd student working at Argonne regularly each summer. I stay in with Kathy every time. She has many of Argonne employees stay here. She lives within walking distance to the train. She is also only a 25 minute safe train ride into Chicago. The grocery stores and restaurants are within walking distance. It is very safe to walk at any time. The house is quiet and clean. Kathy is so nice. She has dropped me at the train station in bad weather. The room is comfortable and has anything you will need, and if there is something you want - just ask Kathy. I needed a bigger desk and she had one the next day. Argonne Lab people stay here! especially if you want to explore Chicago on weekends. I never have had a problem with my deposit.
Fantasic! Stay here. House beautiful and owner The Best
I've stayed here twice in the last year for 3 months each time and I'm coming back again at the end of the year. My room is so comfy and the house is beautiful. Everything in the room you may need from fans to a mini heater (if you'd like your room hotter), to hand sanitizer to Kleenex! Bed is comfortable and there is lots of closet space and room space. The house and bathrooms are kept very clean. The area is so nice, quiet and safe. Kathy the owner is wonderful. Very kind and helpful. We would go out for pizza regularly. Very nice lady and really respectful to her renters. I always received my security deposit back with no problems as I did not cause any damage. STAY HERE!
Great location is a great neighborhood!
This is a really great option for someone looking to rent a room in a large house, especially those looking for a quiet, safe neighborhood. The owner is very accommodating to every need and highly respectful of all renters. I particularly liked having a driveway to park my car. Beautiful home. Fair rent. Amazing neighborhood close to the train to jump on and head downtown. This property gets 5 stars from me.
Perfect location
Great, safe, beautiful neighborhood. Everything you need is within 10 minutes. Beautiful house. Very comfortable. The owner K is very nice and gets you everything you need. All the amenities are fantastic. Don't hesitate to stay here!

Great rental
This is a great house in LaGrange, a peaceful, quiet, and very family friendly area. I took the basement and honestly everything I needed was available, and if somethinh was missing K, the home owner, made sure everyting is readily available. The basement is big with a foldable couch and a private bathroom and is well ventilated. All the aminities were available and in great shape like the fridge, microwave, stove, and laundry equipemnt. The house is a 10 minute walk from the main street where you'll find a lot of stores including trader joe, dollar store, jewel osco, and many resturants as well as a Pace bus stop. K was a great host and was always there whenever something was needed. P.S if you like to watch TV, K has an unlimited amount of TVs laying around
