Amazing really sums it up! The building g itself is a little dated, but once we walked through the door, its jaw dropping. The views of Chicago, the lake, the downtown area, just amazing. The response of the owners was timely and accurate. The staff at the building is nothing short of ‘amazing’. The convenience to the museums and Michigan Ave makes for a perfect stay! We loved the property, I hope to revisit this property again soon.
