Magnificent

Incredible view from this amazing penthouse. We stayed here with family for a wedding and couldn't have been happier. This location was fabulous for our group and we walked everywhere. Restaurants, places to go, it was all right there. If you are staying there and it is going to be a hot day, just put the blinds down at night so the sun doesn't heat it up in the morning and you are good to go. Truly, everything was fabulous.

The Chicago experience we were looking for.

Our family really enjoyed our stay at River North. From the view to the access to restaurants to the central location, we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. We will book again when we return.

Amazing view and accommodations

We had absolutely an amazing time staying at the condo. The view was incredible!. We were in walking distance to great spots. Staff at the apartment were accommodating and the owners were very kind and helpful with check in and out info. Place was spotless when we arrived and beds were comfortable. Condo was stocked and there was a store right down stairs. We will definitely be coming back and staying here for our next trip to Chicago.

Stay here for the view!

The best thing about this place is very clearly the view, which matches/surpasses the images in the pictures. But it's also a very comfortable place to stay (good beds, comfy chairs/sofas). Yes, some things are a little worn - surely by former guests! But everything functioned well. As others have noted, you do hear city noise especially ambulances. The master bedroom has an exit door into the hallway and you can hear noise there as well, but it's infrequent as there aren't too many units per floor.Good location, friendly door-persons, so nice to have the grocery store downstairs. All in all, I would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic Property with Amazing Views of Chicago

Overall, we had an incredible experience staying at the Penthouse. The views of Chicago are simply stunning, the property is very well maintained, and it is in a great location for access to everything downtown. The checkin process was super easy and the staff in the building were all very friendly and helpful. Jeri-Lou is a fantastic communicator and provided all of the information we needed to make the stay carefree. We travel to Chicago several times a year and will look to always book a space here.

The views were stunning

We spent our 22 Wedding Anniversary in the Magnificent Mile. The bell air staff is absolutely amazing, the Jewel was not only convenient, but extremely reasonable. Don’t feel like you have to get groceries ahead of time, it’s not worth it. The Trader Joe’s OMG my favorite. Walking distance to everywhere is the best.

Perfect place in an awesome city!

Like I said, the place is perfect. Had to get used to the amount of text and disclaimers the owner is sending ahead of our arrival. Guess, they had terrible experiences with other vistors and thats why they have a super-strict and demanding tone of voice. But once all is running smoothly, they calm down.

Amazing views, ideal location and fully stocked condo

We absolutely enjoyed our stay in this amazing Penthouse! The location could not be beat and enabled us to walk her so many different places or jump on the L to get around. The views cannot be appreciated by the pictures! The condo was fully equipped with everything we needed as we made several meals at the condo. The gentleman that worked the front desk were extremely helpful and polite. Just be sure and bring eye covers for when you sleep as the floor to ceiling windows means a whole lot of light comes in 1st thing in the morning! But we were glad to have it to have those views!

Thanksgiving 2021

Awesome communication from the beginning! Jim was a super host & answered so many questions very quickly. He made sure we even had last minute parking for my daughter. The location was perfect & the views were unbelievable! We had the most wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. The penthouse was exactly as pictured & the beds were super comfortable. The couch bed is probably more suitable for children…but what can you really expect from a pull out? My daughter ended up sleeping at her apartment & re joining us the next morning. That was probably the only thing I wish I could have changed. Overall it was a wonderful stay & we will never forget the memories we made at the penthouse!
