Lovely Stay at the Penthouse!

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.

We came to Chicago for a last minute trip and were so glad we selected this condo. You will not find a better location! The condo is well appointed with great amenities. The views are spectacular!

Excellent apartment!

We have rented apartments through VRBO in the US and Europe. This apartment was a great find. The location in Chicago was very convenient. The check in and out process was easy and reasonable. The apartment was very clean, comfortable, and well stocked with whatever we needed to cook meals. We would definitely return!

A Chicago Haven (Heaven)

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!!

Way better than expected! Wow!!

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!

This is the best location in Chicago. Not only is apartment all you can ask for, top-equipped bathroom and kitchen and the view is spectacular! But also River North the area is booming, if you don't want to, you don't have to leave the area for a week for great breakfast, lunch, coffee and dinner-options just around every corner.

Beautiful stay on top of the world

We stayed for a week. The place was beautiful and the view was spectacular, especially at night. The building has amenities galore: pool, gym, BBQ area, and a grocery store 3 steps from the entry door. The hosts were great - they gave very explicit directions that made check in and check out a breeze. The washer and dryer were a great plus! The shower had strong water pressure too. We did a walking murder mystery tour that was great, had drinks at Chicago 360 and saw the bean - all within walking distance. All in all it was a fantastic trip.
