Wonderful Place to Stay!

I am so happy we found this place! Myself, husband and two young children (ages 2 & 4) stayed here for the weekend and it was perfect for us. We came to Chicago for the Festival of Lights Parade. We were just a brief walk off Michigan Ave. We never took a cab the entire weekend. We were able to walk to all of our favorite places. We have stayed in condos in a few different states and this by far made us feel the most at home. It was super clean and nicely decorated. It didn't feel like random leftovers of decor were thrown together. The view was amazing and the kids loved being up that high. We were even able to watch a great fireworks display! It had everything we could have needed. It was ready to "live" in. Traveling with young kids means we usually have to purchase extra things at our destination. Here, we didn't have to. The small details like kleenex in every room and nightlites, made it wonderful! The owners were very friendly and made sure we were happy. We will certainly stay here again. I am thinking of coming for a girl's weekend soon! I can't say enough about this great place!

After several visits to Chicago staying at a number of hotels our stay at 30 E Huron was by far the best. Unlike some rental properties equiped with the bare minimum such as glassware, dishes, flatware, etc, this penthouse contains an abundance of everything needed for a small dinner party. Just provide your own food and drink. We will never book a hotel in Chicago again without checking availabilty at 30 E Huron first. Jim and Jeri-Lou made our experience hassle free.

This was a Perfect getaway location. Close to everything. The condo was everything as advertised. The views were incredable, and the condo was very clean and up to date. The owners were very helpful with all kinds of information. Would love to come back in the summertime to enjoy the pool and other downtown attractions. My only draw back was the 10:00 checkout, made it a bit rushed to get out. Would have been nice if it could have been a 12:00 checkout.

You cannot find a nicer place to stay. The condo is beautiful, well equiped, amazing view, great location, parking included, need I say more. I would not hesitate to recommend this condo. This was our 3rd trip back to the same condo and it won't be our last. Jim & Jeri-Lou attended to our every need.

Very nice, comfortable condo in high rise condo just off of Michigan Ave. Perfect locale! In addition there is a Trader Joes and Starbucks two short blocks away, a bar/resturant right around the corner and a deli within steps!. The elevators are a bit slow so it takes awhile to go up and down. Pool deck is beautiful with many grills available. Workout room is adequate, nothing special. The condo did not have a washer/dryer so you need to go to pay laundry room to wash clothes, slight hassle.
Owners are great and very interested in making your experience seemless.
Highly recommend condo!

Thanks Jerilou and Jim for a wonderful four days in your apartment. We coudn't have asked for a better base in Chicago. Really close to Michigan Avenue and within easy walking distance of all the tourist areas we wished to visit. The apartment had everything we needed with easy access to grocery and restaurants. Instructions supplied prior to our trip made it simple to find it and obtain access. All door staff were very helpful mwith any queries we had.
Fox and Obel deli and grocery store near Navy Pier, although a little expensive, had some of the best varieties of salads I have come across and their antipasto salad was to die for......great with a good glass of red! The stained glass museum at Navy Pier is also worth a look.
If anyone is looking for a great place to stay and enjoy Chicago then I would certainly recommend your apartment.

Excellent condo - location was perfect - what a view -could walk anywhere downtown, shops, Navy Pier, Chicago Architecure Foundation Boat Tour. Many good restaurants close by. The condo was very well appointed with all the little items which made you feel at home. Jim and Geri Lou were very helpful with directions to condo,sight seeing ideas,local grocery stores and restaurants. Would definitely refer this accommodation to friends or relatives.

We spent 3 nights during July - 2 adults and 2 kids. We loved the views, the location and having a kitchen. Jim and Jeri Lou were very helpful as well. I've already recommended this unit to friends and we'll definitely try to stay here again the next time we're in Chicago.
