Chicago on the Water
Guest: Bolton Traveler
(Bolton, CT)
Date of Stay: 05/06/10
Review Submitted: 05/10/10
What a wonderful stay. Photos & description are almost accurate...only better! The location directly on the shore of Lake Michigan is stunning. We felt like we were on the ocean with the sandy beach in view from every window and the sound of the waves. Owner was very helpful in answering all questions. Sheets were the nicest ones we've ever slept on. The kitchen was adequately equipped for cooking. Street parking can be tricky. The architecture and character of this unusual condo directly on the water is so much more interesting than a hotel! We plan to come back again and also recommend it to others.
