Why the Owner Chose Gold Coast
There is only one Gold Coast in Chicago and this historical building is in the heart of it. Our endeavor started out with simply wanting a place to stay when we would visit and eventually use in retirement. We love Chicago and all the City has to offer...from great food, to world class shopping, to museums, architecture, sports, beaches...you name it and Chicago has it all.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
The location cannot be beat. Chicago's epicenter for nightlife is at the end of the block with fabulous restaurants like Gibson's, Tavern On Rush, Morton's, etc. coming together in a perfect triangular parklike setting. If you want to feel like a true Chicago resident in one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in Chicago, this is the place. The tree-lined street is a perfect prelude to your arrival at this historical building. Shopping on Michigan Avenue is just a block away as well. It's an AMAZING location!
The Red Line will take you directly to the Cubs or the White Sox or right to the Loop.
Fabulous restaurants such as Gibson's, Morton's, Hugo's Frog Bar, Tavern on Rush and others.

6 ladies had a great time celebrating our 50th year. the place is beautiful, great location--blocks from rush street and great restuarants and shopping. the street is quiet with beautiful, large trees. i would highly recommend this place and we plan on returning next may. property was spotless--pictures don't do it justice- much better in real life.

We rented the brownstone for a girls' weekend this past January. It was perfect. The unit was clean, nicely decorated and well maintained. The kitchen was top notch, there were nice conversation areas and the beds were extremely comfortable. We had a minor repair that needed to be taken care of when we first arrived. After calling the owners, the serviceman showed up and completed the work promptly. We are looking forward to staying at brownstone again! - Kathy

The apartment was in an amazing location, half a block from Rush Street and the beach. Lots of great places to eat close by and the night life was also convenient. The place was much bigger than my business partner and I needed but with the cost of hotel suites it was a no brainer. The place was clean, nicely furnished with high ceilings. The beds were quite comfortable but the bathrooms are tiny. I'll definitely consider staying there again:). Thanks, Suzie, for a smooth transaction!

The unit in the townhouse on East Cedar St. in Chicago is not only a great location, but an extremely comfortable place to stay while in the city. The unit is spacious, very well maintained and offers the comforts of home (a great kitchen, wi-fi, plenty of closet space, and comfortable living room). The neighborhood is terrific for restaurants, shopping and walking along the lake. We would highly recommend this unit to anyone visiting Chicago!

Thank you Mark & Ashley for our stay on E. Cedar! A block from the center of action on Rush Street and one block from Lake Shore Drive & Michigan Avenue...we could not have asked for a better location for our stay in Chicago. Your home felt exactly like that...a home! We felt comfortable from the moment we entered. We didn't want to leave and will certainly be back!
