We stayed here for New Years Eve and had the best time. Close proximity- walking distance to Mag mile, river walk and all the great restaurants. So convenient with the grocery store down stairs. And the best part was the views of the city and the lake! So gorgeous. Would absolutely stay again.
Location was perfect for 4 high school girlfriends annual get together. We loved the fireplace in the 2-story living room as it was very cold the week-end we were there. We had a blast.
This pent house was even better than the pics show!!! Unbelievable view and the location is great!!!! Would book again if in Chicago and recommend to all.
This is a great property in a fantastic location. It was perfect for our family and allowed us to see Chicago and have a home we could return to. Fantastic views, great amenities and a homey environment made our family trip a success.
My husband, teenager and I stayed here for a long weekend trip. The views and location were excellent! We were pleased with how clean it was as well. Would highly recommend!
We had an amazing long weekend in Chicago! This place is amazing and we could not get over the views! The home was very clean and equipped with everything we needed. We would stay here again! Close to everything and lots within walking distance.
The view is spectacular. There are plenty of other great features about this condo - unbeatable location, great doormen and women, clean, well appointed common spaces, bedrooms and bathrooms, and a wonderful gas fireplace. We had a terrific time and only wish we could have stayed longer (maybe forever!)
This was a great stay in the middle of downtown Chicago, right by the Redline, which took us all over the city. It was a perfect home base for our week in Chicago! We would have loved some outdoor furniture to sit on the balcony looking over the city, but other than that, it was perfect!
Excellent property….perfect location for exploring the city. Easy walking distance to many restaurants, grocery store at ground level.
The view from the balcony is amazing. We will definitely consider this property for future trips to Chicago.
Great condo with wrap around balcony. Entire process was smooth with great communication. Jewel grocery store downstairs super convenient. No need for a rental car. Would book this condo again.
Our family could not be happier with our stay at the Penthouse. Great location, Jewel next store is super convenient, and the unit/view is awesome. The owners are super attentive and helpful in making sure guests know their way getting in and around the building. I will be seeking out their smaller units in the future as well!
A great space and location for our group! Central for public transportation to anywhere you need to go. The views are “Once in a lifetime “, at least for us! Thankyou!
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.
