Very good

This was a nice place to stay for my staycation. The pics make it look a tad better than what it was, but it was nice nonetheless. Communications and accommodations were top notch. I'd book there again, especially given the prime location.

Property location was good and the place itself was good. However, there were two problems. A more severe one was that after one day of stay there was a leak from the ceiling of the bathroom and they did not give us immediate assistance. Their solution was to fix it the next day which meant staying without a bathroom which was not possible. We had to leave immediately at night and there was no refund for that night of lost stay. Additionally, earlier that day, in the morning, the door lock would not open easily, and we lost almost a couple of hours trying to unlock the door -- they had to send someone to figure out how to unlock the door.
EXCELLENT Location (10/10) but GROSSLY overpriced (3/10)! We were expecting so much more for what we paid. There is no doubt that location was ideal - 2 minutes from the train and very close to shops and restaurants. Building lobby is gorgeous and well air conditioned which was a treat after being outside in Chicago August heat/sweat! Lovely view from the rooftop deck as well. CONS:When we arrived the front door was not only unlocked but ajar - as women traveling alone this was quite unsettling so we spent the first 10 minutes looking in every closet, behind every door, under beds etc.The Nest unit to control the temperature seemed to be glitchy so we were forever adjusting it throughout our stay.There were Cheetos under one of the chairs in the living room which was super grossLiterally NO amenities - yes a salt and pepper shaker and a kuerig but that was it. Even the shampoo bottle that was left behind had a broken pump so it couldn't be usedMy daughter got a horrible rash from the sheets (we ended up in urgent care as it doubled in size overnight) and had to buy a sheet set from Target to put on the bed and also on the couch. Also overall the unit itself is just so bare (the colored walls you see in photos have all been painted white), it felt really sterile and not super comfy.We really wanted to love it and I think if they added some basic amenities the price would be closer to reasonable, but as it was we could have stayed at the Ritz Carlton...
We enjoyed our stay, the location in River North was great. Safe, easy to get around. The roof top patio provided great views and a comfortable place to visit.Entering the building was easy, instructions were easy for codes etc.This was the most sparse looking rental we have stayed in. A nice long deck but no chairs to sit on. Instructions for the thermostat would be nice for those of us who are not tech savvy.It is always nice to have the first mornings coffee supplied but a tea option and also a bolder coffee option would have been appreciated. Appreciated the sugar.A sponge or wash cloth for the kitchen. The master bathroom needed a chair/stool or piece of furniture to put things on. The shower didn't have a shower caddy and the shampoo/soap etc. had to be place on the shower floor. We think more than 1 bath towel per person should be provided and also a couple of bath mats. Also, the shower floor /lower walls need a scrubbing.The TP was one ply and no kleenex which is always a nice touch. We did buy a box and left it. Not part of the condo but entering the building the smell in the lobby/elevator was terrible. Not enough air and the diffusers were overwhelming.
The location of this property is perfect! Great restaurants on the street and nearby. Walking distance from so many places to see. Short walk to the red line train. Lovely balcony you can sit on. Clean kitchen, comfy beds. Excellent building. We would highly recommend this property if you’re thinking of coming to Chicago for any length of stay. We would stay here again.
Great place. Location is perfect to be able to walk to all the main attractions. Host was very responsive. Good AC, comfortable beds, secure and safe building. Overall, wonderful experience and would stay again.
The initial communication was excellent, easy registration/payment and clear instructions for accessing the unit. Unfortunately, several issues during the stay led to this review.When we arrived, the thermostat was set to 65 degrees, the unit was extremely cold, and the thermostat was not functioning. I immediately sent the host a photo of the error message. For the next five days, despite repeated messages, I received responses that appeared to be automated. On day 5 of our 7-day stay, I finally received a link explaining how to operate the thermostat, but the AC issue was never resolved during our stay as it was inoperable.The property was also advertised with a beautiful rooftop deck. At check-in, we were told the key fob needed for access was located on the console in the unit. It was not there. I repeatedly notified the host, but despite assurances that it would be delivered or provided through the front desk/maintenance team, we never received access. There was no onsite staff or front desk available to assist.The final and most serious issue occurred on day 5 when the front door lock malfunctioned and we became trapped inside the unit on the 6th floor. After contacting the host, someone had to literally saw through the lock to get us out.While the location was great, the lack of personal, onsite support, unresolved AC issue, no rooftop access, and unsafe lock situation made this a very disappointing stay.
Great location, very nice building and apartment that was perfect for our needs! There were many restaurants nearby and we were able to walk to the Riverwalk, Lake and Magnificent mile as well as many other attractions. It was also very close to brownline and redline train stops. The condo was nice but not super well equipped. It didn’t matter for us because we weren’t cooking. The location and price point made it well worth it. The hosts were also very responsive and easy to work with. Thank you for a great stay!
