It was a great location and condo. Beautiful views of the city. Clean. Check in easy. Doormen/women were extremely helpful. Only downsides were 1) the pool was incredibly busy with adults standing around. No real room for my kids to swim so we never did. 2) the elevators- 3 were broken while we were there so it was pretty much always a long line

Amazing Chicago experience

We had an incredible family trip visiting Chicago , staying at this spacious and well appointed apartment. The views of the Chicago skyline were stunning, and it was located in a central area walkable to tourist sites and restaurants we loved. The outdoor swimming pool made our August stay an incredible summer trip. Loved it!

Great visit

We loved our stay at the Grand Plaza. This is the second time we have stayed at this property.. I love the convenience of the grocery store and the red line both right next door. The views are amazing as well. We loved the ninth floor with the basketball court, and pool table. We will definitely stay there again.

Perfect!!

We wanted to take our four young kids to the “big city” for vacation and stumbled across this listing. I’m SO glad we did! Literally the perfect spot for ALL things downtown Chicago. The view is breathtaking, apartment is SO clean and the amenities are the cherry on top! Owner was super fast to respond with any questions. Grocery store attached to the building, bus stops right across the street. Best VRBO experience we’ve had BY FAR.

Perfect location/Excellent amenities!

Everything was as pictured. It was perfect for our visit with two of our grown sons (the second bedroom has two queens!) You can't beat the location. Everything, and more, is waiting for you in the apartment. The owners left detailed instructions and were very quick to respond. You will be so glad you decided to stay!

Amazing views & ample space

I stayed here with a group of friends for a conference that was held in downtown Chicago. We didn’t want to stay at the conference hotel so we opted for this place, and we are so glad that we did! Not only were the amenities amazing (pool, sauna, workout space) but we had ample space in the apartment for 8 adults and enjoyed spectacular views of the Chicago skyline- especially with sunrise. The sleeping arrangements were fine for all 8 of us (again, we are friends so beds were shared and the couches were used) and for the same price as an expensive downtown hotel we had a full kitchen and dining space to hang out together during our downtime. If you’re looking to stay downtown then this really is a good deal for a group of people!

Family Holiday Visit

This property is absolutely wonderful! From the moment you walk in the door and see the floor to ceiling windows in ALL rooms you will feel relaxed and comfortable. This spotless 3 bath/2 bed condo was perfect for our family of 3. We had plenty of room to spread out with privacy for all. The unit is fully stocked with everything you would need besides your food and drink. I've stayed in many rentals and this was by far over and above the amount of necessities provided. There were plenty of paper products, toiletries, hair dryers, towels, garbage bags, cleaning supplies, extra linens, blankets, and pillows. Due to the thorough communication from the owners the check-in/check-out procedures were very easy with no anxiety or stress. We knew exactly what was expected of us during our stay and we knew that they were there for us should anything arise. Everything from hot water to cable/internet to heating/air ran perfectly. The property was in a very convenient (and safe) location close to everything we were there to see and do. The front desk (door staff) was welcoming, helpful and attentive to our needs. The unit was very quiet the entire length of our stay. The conveniently located Jewel Osco on the ground level was all we needed for any additional supplies and necessities. I would certainly stay again especially in the warmer months when you can really enjoy the patio and breathtaking view! This is definitely a new favorite in Chicago and I highly recommend.

Family vacation

We arrived with our teen boys who each brought a friend, for 4 nights. We were in awe with the penthouse on the 53rd floor. The views were unbelievable. We did bring a blow up mattress for the second bedroom. There was enough room for it on the floor, so all 4 boys slept in there. The pull out couches were an option, but it is very bright in the living room come morning. It is also very bright in the master in the morning. Bring your eye mask. The apartment is supplied with everything you need. Plenty of soaps, ziplocks, trash bags, toilet paper. Everything we needed was there. And the Jewel/Osco grocery store on the main level was a bonus for groceries for cooking in. We all enjoyed the pool, though it is does get crowded with young adults on a nice Saturday. The teens used the basketball court, weight room, outdoor track, game room. The location location location was great!! Most things we did or wanted was within walking distance. Parking is available, but make sure you mention right away that you’ll need it. We did not realize this, so we had to pay the high garage price. It is cheaper to get through this VRBO. We left wanting more. Great time was had by all!

Incredible city views!

We absolutely loved our stay. So much room for our family of 5. We loved waking up to stunning views of the Lake and city scape. The place was spotless when we arrived (kudos to the cleaning staff). Great location, walkable to so many things but also right on the red line. I don’t think we will be able to stay anywhere else during future trips to Chicago!
