The stay was amazing! The location was perfect and close to the metro. The host and staff were friendly and helpful for the duration of our stay. The penthouse was very clean, comfortable and had plenty of room for our family of five. It was nice having a fireplace on chilly nights. The views are amazing! We would stay here again when we come back to Chicago.

A fantastic place to stay for up to 6 people comfortably. Centrally located with access to restaurants, a great grocery store at the bottom of the building, and a Red Line stop right on the corner. Amazing views of the city and great amenities to workout, sauna, etc during your stay. Would highly recommend.

Perfect home base for our family of 5 adults during our visit to Chicago. The River North location was great. Restaurants, bars, groceries, coffee were all very close and we could walk to many wonderful Chicago sites like the Willis Tower, Millennium and Grant Parks, Field Museum, Navy Pier and the River Walk. Red Line subway stop right out the front door made it super easy to head to Wrigley Field.Our hosts were very proactive in their communications, provided clear instructions for getting access to the unit and for parking, and were quite responsive throughout our stay.The unit itself was very clean and comfortable with fantastic views of the surrounding city and the lake.We would not hesitate to return in the future.

Jeri Lou and James were terrific hosts with such a beautiful penthouse. They made their instructions very easy to navigate around the plaza. The directions and recommendations made exploring stress free and I was able to explore more than I anticipated. The cleanness of the penthouse was top tier and they made us feel welcomed with their hospitality.

This was the perfect spot for a get away in the sky! We had so much fun just enjoy the skyline. It was like being in Gotham. The views of the structures, fog, snow and bustling city were both relaxing and captivating. Everything we needed was there, it was cozy, clean and easy to truly relax in the homey environment. The fireplace was the perfect touch. Owners are super communicative checking in every step of the way. 10/10 place to stay.

Thank you for such a wonderful and vivid review. We’re so glad the penthouse felt like the perfect “getaway in the sky” and that you were able to enjoy the skyline, fog, snow, and energy of the city from above. We love your “Gotham” description — Chicago can be incredibly dramatic from that height, especially with the skyline, weather, and city lights all working together. It’s great to hear the space felt cozy, clean, well-stocked, and easy to relax in. The fireplace really is a perfect touch on those colder Chicago days, and we’re happy it added to the experience. We also appreciate your comments about the communication. We work hard to provide a true Penthouse experience from start to finish, and we’d be very happy to host you again anytime.
