My husband and I stayed her for a week in mid-sept. I would highly recommend this condo to anyone. The views were exactly as pictured. We traveled on public transportation all over this city. Once we had to take a cab from the downtown area and it was less then $5.00. The condo was well equipped. We did some simple cooking and we had everything that we needed. Almost daily we would take our car out and go to the Whole Foods Market to pick up provisions. The traffic was not difficult if it was not rush hour. I would book this place again. It was clean and loved having the washer-dryer.

Perfection

Stayed here on our first visit to Chicago with my boyfriend and 2 friends, and I must say it was perfect! The condo was spotless upon check-in and everything was just like the pictures! We walked to the nearby grocery store to stock up on snacks and wine to enjoy and got our daily coffee downstairs at the Caribou Coffee place. The balcony was so nice in the evening for relaxing and enjoying the skyline. The doormen were more than helpful in giving us dining suggestions as well as directions to the train station and other landmarks. The location was not too far for us to walk down to the lake or to downtown areas. Andrew was also very helpful with all the pertinent information we requested. I highly recommend this place! Two very enthusiastic thumbs up! Fine holiday fun!

My husband and I spent three nights at the condo with my parents who were visiting from overseas and we all loved it. It is exactly as described in the listing and in the photographs. The views are great and the condo is comfortable and well organized. It had everything we needed. Close to all of the sights of Chicago. It was wonderful to have a parking spot for our vehicle and not worry about it. The owner was a pleasure to work with. We will definitely be back!

Great Location - Outstanding Views

I give my highest recommendation for this vacation rental. Andrew was great to work with as I planned our first trip to Chicago. I had plenty of questions regarding grocery shopping, dining and events. The apartment is very comfortable and the views are outstanding. You can easily walk to all the major sights in the city. We've told many people about this place encouraging them to check it out. We hope to be back to the apartment during the fall season at a future date. Thanks Andrew -- we really enjoyed it.

This was an amazing condo! Beautiful view of downtown. Condo was exceptional and just like you see in the pictures. The location was perfect for walking to the metro, bus or anywhere you want. I'd definitely stay here again and recommend it to my family and friends.

Andrew, the owner replies quickly and is great to work with. This condo is magnificent. It is everything that the pics show. The rooms are very comfy,large bathrooms,computer,full kitchen. The tall eating table is not only good for eating it is great for the board games that are available to play. This condo is an end unit on the 17th floor, the view is unbelievable. Windows all around.The condo is right on the Chicago River. There is a nice park next to the conda for the kids. I can't say enough about the fabulous doormen who treated us like royalty! They were always ready to assist.Three school secretary girlfirends and I chose Chicago because of all the wonderful attractions(Navy Pier on Lake Michigan,Chicago History Museum,Willis Tower,shopping on Michigan Ave.,Boat tours,deep pan pizza (Gino's East), You must take a trip on the El and Subway. For a few dollars more you can make reservations for lunch at The John Hancock Restaurant on the 95th floor and still get a beautiful view of the city. You can get to these fun attractions by cab.There are many on every corner. Also choosing this condo is so much cheaper and bigger than choosing a hotel. I look forward to visiting the beautiful city of Chicago again. The people who live and work there are very nice and helpful showing Great Hospitality!!! A fun place for families,girlfriend retreat or a romantic getaway.

We had such a great stay. The location is great because your close to everything the city has to offer but not in the thick of crowds. We stayed with two active toddlers and it was so helpful to have parking and easy access to come and go, a pool, and a fabulous playground just steps from your front door. The apartment is tastefully decorated (and for baby proofing purposes, not cluttered - such a relief!) Lovely walks along the river each evening.. such a luxury. Thanks Andrew!

My family stayed here for a fabulous two week vacation last summer and fell in love with the simply incredible views of the city from the home. It was even better than the photos. We felt like we were in a movie. Wonderful home with great amenities and true comforts. Incredible value. We were able to park on-site and then walk to all the city's best tourist activities. Kids loved the park next door and feeding the ducks and playing frisbee. The restaurants within 2-3 blocks were amazing. We will be back as soon as possible!

We had such an amazing time in Chicago while staying at this condo. It was walking distance to EVERYTHING and we had a 20-month-old with us :) The neighborhood was beautiful and safe and the property itself was clean, new and cozy. It was such a blast staying here rather than a hotel! My daughter's uncles and aunts got to spend quality time with her at all hours of the day since we were all in one residence. Andrew made everything as easy as could be! Can't wait to go back!!
