Enjoyed our visit to Chicago. Everything was in walking distances and lots great restaurants and entertainment. The Penthouse was very clean and comfortable and views were amazing.
Amazing views, fun pool (real party!) awesome amenities, EXTREMELY functional AC, steps from the red line. We couldn’t have asked for more for our family of 3 spending a week in Chicago.
This was a perfect location for a family trip to Chicagonforna friend's wedding. Walking distance to many things and right on the red line for easy access to everything else. The apartment was beautiful and the view was unbeatable. Highly recommend.
Excited about our trip to Chicago and was not disappointed. Communication was very good from the homeowner location is perfect we had a fantastic time would recommend this for anyone wanting to enjoy downtown Chicago
Great location and fabulous views from the extremely large deck.
Well stocked kitchen had everything that we needed, plus the Jewel was just steps away from our front door.
Will definitely stay again if we return to Chicago.
Highly recommend!
We took our county kid grandson for a long weekend trip to the big city. The panoramic view from this lovely penthouse was PERFECT.The penthouse was very nice. The added extras like the library and gym were just a huge bonus. Location was great for our planned excursions.
Well maintained and comfortable property, great central location, easy walk to the riverfront, museums, and downtown activities and restaurants. Fantastic city views from the huge balcony (unit 5107), although there's no furniture out there to sit on.
Very clean beautiful home with the most amazing views! Couldn’t have asked for anything more! The owners were very communicative. Check in was very easy and check out was easy. 10/10 recommend staying here!
This was an amazing place, in a great location, the view was unbelievable, and there was lots of things to do in the area our host, we’re great to work with, they had great insight, and information to share with us to make our stay even more enjoyable. we would definitely use their property again
This place was beautiful and a great location. We stayed in Penthouse #7 and the balcony was definitely the best feature. We stayed over 4th of July and saw fireworks throughout the city and beyond! James was very responsive and helpful when we needed help.
I really can't say enough about this property. Beautiful views, fully equipped home with everything you need.The location was amazing and close to all that we love to do. The red line was literally right outside the door and the grocery store on the first floor was so convenient especially in the sub zero weather.The space was very cozy and the fireplace was a special touch. We loved sitting by the fire with a glass of wine looking out at the water and city views.We will definitely stay here again next time we come to the Windy City.
Spotless Apartment, Great Location, Fabulous Views
Booked this apartment for a five night stay with my daughter and could not have been more pleased. As the header notes, the apartment was precisely as indicated on the site, well-cleaned and had views of the city which couldn't be beat. At the same time it was within walking distance of many major sites, and a CTA stop was near the buidling for those using public transit. Would definitely be happy to stay here again on a future stay.
This is an amazing place!! First of all, for visitors it's close to many of the things you would want to do in Chicago. We live an hour or so away in the suburbs, but my wife loves the city skyline so I decided to book this for her birthday. It's much better than any hotel! The hosts are very helpful and responsive. There are a lot of instructions on entering and parking, but their directions were perfect and we had no trouble finding the place or checking in. The doorman was friendly and so were the other people who stayed in the building. If you are searching for a place to stay just book it!!
Thank you so much for sharing your penthouse! We had a very relaxing time and hope to come back sometime when it is a little warmer and we can explore the area more! It was an amazing location for sure! There were so many nice touches from the ample number of outlets/places to charge, the plentiful kleenex boxes, the kitchen amenities and even a fan. We felt right at home and literally needed nothing. Thank you so much for making this past week exactly what we needed!
We loved this apartment. The location was perfect and near everything. Building staff was kind and secure. 9th floor gym was excellent. Communication with owners was very good. Detailed instructions. Loved the large balcony and fireplace in our penthouse. Well done!!
Amazing Location, Amazing Views & Just an Amazing Property.
The Penthouse is in the perfect location with just amazing views of the city. We've never stayed at a place that was so well stocked with everything we needed. If it wasn't there (it probably was) there is a very nice market next door. The check in and out process as well as communication with the owner was flawless. In addition, the door staff was very helpful, answering any question we had. We just can't say enough good things about this property and the amazing 5 nights we spent here. Book it, you'll be happy you did!
A big, beautiful, immaculate, wonderfully furnished space 51 floors above the city. Everything in the owner's description is true. Watching the sun rise over the lake from that height was a treat. Also being able to walk to restaurants, Navy Pier, river tours, great blues clubs, plus hop the subway just a few doors away. The door staff was very helpful in stashing our luggage on both sides of our stay (be sure to "show them some kindness" for that service).
The incredible views and friendly doormen added a positive touch. However, the non-functional cable TV was a letdown. It's frustrating when trying to relax or wait for others. Thankfully, WiFi saved the day, allowing us to use our phones.
Honestly, this place was great! The pictures dont do it justice. The place was immaculately clean, which is one thing you can never be sure of. I would recommend this place to anyone and will likely be staying again in the future. The hosts were very informative, and had plenty of communication from start to finish. I'm sure they are very responsive, but I never needed anything because they have every detail covered. I never once needed to get in touch with them. I would recommend this place to anyone and will likely be staying again in the future.
This is a really remarkable property. The view from the floor-to-ceiling windows will have your jaw on the floor from the moment you walk in. The enormous wrap-around outdoor patio 51 stories up will take your breath away. The amenities in the building, including gym/sauna/steam room/pool/grill area are all first-rate. Parking was seamless, and the neighborhood was great as a tourist.
The apartment was quiet, spacious and comfortable. Air conditioning was very effective. Fireplace an unexpected but nice touch. Kitchen had everything we needed to easily prepare meals and snacks when we wanted to have a quiet night in or a home-cooked breakfast.
This was a vacation to remember thanks to this exceptional property. I'll be looking for any excuse to come back and stay here again.
My husband and I stayed for a long weekend. The city view is incredible and breathtaking. We lucked out on a couple of sunny days and could see the lake very clearly. The place was spacious and comfortable. It had everything we needed from a fully stocked kitchen with nice pots/pans to a coffee maker with filters, extra towels, Kleenex boxes, directTV for watching football. Access to the gym and the outdoor pool was also really nice. This place is in an incredible location with amazing restaurants and groceries nearby. Eataly was just down the street and it’s a great place to pick up fresh cheese, bread and produce if you want something nicer than the couple of local grocery stores. Right out the door is access to the L train, which was so easy to get around town. Very close walk to the river. The owners were very easy to communicate with, and very quick to respond. This gets our highest recommendation, and we would go back in a heartbeat, and stay here again.
