The location of the building can't be beat - we enjoyed walking to all of Chicago's main attractions. The building's amenities - gym, basketball court, jacuzzi - are first-class. The penthouse itself is spectacular - the views of the city and Lake Michigan are mesmerizing. The bedrooms/bathrooms are clean. The living room is perfect for hanging out. 8 people slept relatively comfortably in the accommodations. Our only two complaints are that (1) controlling the heat in the upstairs bedrooms is very difficult and (2) the downstairs bedroom and common area are very bright in the morning, making sleeping late difficult. Despite these challenges, though, we'd recommend the penthouse to others and look forward to staying there again.

Girls Weekend

Perfect location for a girls weekend in Chicago, we were able to walk every where. Which was great. This condo was very spacious and beautiful, it exceeded all of our expectations and was equipped with every thing we needed down to hair dryers and shampoo. The views of Chicago were stunning-bring a camera. Everything about it was first class! We can't wait to come back. Thank you, Jim and Jeri-Lou.

We have stayed at MANY vrbo properties or other non-hotel rental properties, many of which have been "higher-end" places, and being a "clean freak" :) I must say that your place was exceptionally well kept, very clean, and super well equipped. Since we have the 2 boys, I usually come prepared (liquid hand soaps, paper items, etc....). This trip was so short that I didn't plan/pack as much, so it was great that many of those things were furnished!! We will definitely keep your properties in mind for future trips! Thanks so much for sharing your place with us!

When sending four consultants in to the corporate hq to get a project done, every bit of sleep is precious. Luckily, this place is so close to the L red line and numerous places to eat, not to mention thoroughly comfortable throughout, that we all survived our project! Owners are friendly and great to work with. Will definitely contact again for future stays.

This is an incredible property in the perfect location. The views are awesome, the staff are friendly and helpful, and you are right in the heart of the best dining, shopping, and sightseeing that Chicago has to offer. If you have a group, the large living room is a great place to relax after a busy day in the city. Often when we travel with other couples it is hard to find a good space to spend the morning drinking coffee in your pjs watching football. Here you feel like you are in your own home. The kitchen is completely well stocked with all the dishes you will need. We often entertain while in Chicago and the dining area overlooking the lake and the city views makes it such a special event. We have spent the last two Thanksgivings in Chicago and both of our kids really get to feel like they are home with a room of their own. This is so much nicer than staying in a hotel and cheaper than two hotel rooms. We will definitely stay again. Jim and Jerilou are excellent hosts and have taken care of every detail to make sure your experience is memorable and perfect. PS. The elevator is really fast and not very busy. We have stayed other places and felt like we spent half our time waiting.

If you are looking for downtown Michigan Avenue type living for a long weekend this is the place to do it. We stayed with 2 other couples there and the setup was amazing. Jim and Jeri-Lou are great with correspondence and making sure your trip goes smoothly. The property is well priced and comes with a view and amenities you won't find at your average hotel. The location just can't be beat though. Restaurants, Bars, Shopping, Subway, all literally right out the door. Would definitely book again.

Fabulous location and an even better, fabulous condo. Jim and Jeri-Lou are excellent owners/hosts who provide all information needed for arrival through departure. They are also very available if needed. The condo has all the amenities needed including bathroom, bed, and kitchen supplies and the grocery store in the building is perfect. Enjoy
