We loved our stay at the unit. JP made the booking easy. The unit is 1 block from a subway station and is ideally located. The views are terrific. I would recommend this unit without qualification.

We stayed at this condo with friends. There was so much room and it was convenient to everything. Walked to beach/swimming in Lake Michigan. Short train ride to kayaking, Second City, Steppenwolf and Oak Park. Walked to awsome dining and jazz clubs! We loved this location and this condo, it made us feel like we were a part of the city! Hope to stay again! Thanks JP!

PERFECT GIRLFRIEND GETAWAY!

The location is very central to everything you want to do. For women traveling alone security is a must and we felt very safe in this building and condo. The front desk was manned everytime we came and went. The staff was very friendly and we had no problem getting a taxi ever. The weather was bad so we were able to shop in the Whole Foods store without leaving the building. There was also a dry cleaners within the building. The view was phenomenal and we loved the space the unit afforded us. We compared staying in a nice hotel in ONE room and this condo and the price for each of us was very affordable. Loved Roy's restaurant which is next door and we ate there twice. We are big foodies and this is unheard of for us! A bottle of wine and a LARGE assortment of brochures and travel recommendations awaited our arrival. We would go back in a heartbeat!

Perfect Stay

There is so much to recommend this apartment. Firstly, the location is superb - just three blocks from Mag Mile and one block from the CTA stop on Chicago - this is a superb central location with a wonderful view of The Hancock Tower. It's no trouble to walk down to the Loop and as a family of 4, we found taxis to be cheaper than the CTA when looking to head home at the end of the day. If you plan to eat in (as we did), there's a Wholefoods within the building and it's a short walk to Trader Joe's. The building is safe, clean, friendly and quiet. The door staff are particularly pleasant. Both bedrooms are big and comfortable and there's plenty of hanging space. The 2 bathrooms are also good. Kitchen is simple, but well appointed - we ate in pretty much all of the time and all of our needs were met. Lounge is comfortable and the TV is huge. There's a gym and free coffee on the 7th floor. The apartment is good value for money. I was particularly impressed by JP's accomodating view of payment - this is the 4th time we have rented property in the USA and previously we have found terms for deposits and advanced payments to be a little one sided. JP was so cool and trusting when it came to letting us pay with travellers cheques at a mutually convenient time. The only downside is that Chicago fire,ambulance and police vehicles do not hold back on blasting their alarms at all times - bring earplugs with you to ensure a good night's sleep! That should not detract from this property representing very good value for money, particularly given it's prime location. Recommended.

Hi JP, Just wanted to thank you again for everything! The condo was wonderful (those views!) and my family had the best time - due, in part, to the location and layout of the condo. It was great to travel around Chicago during the day and then have the ability to come back and everyone had their own space to relax in. The trip was also made a lot easier because we were able to contact you and you would get back to us right away and helped us take care of many things. We're already trying to think of a time when we can come back because we loved it so much. I will definitely keep your condo in mind for anyone I know heading to Chicago.

My family and I (wife + 2 kids aged 12 & 10) had a great time in Chicago. The condo was just beautiful and what a view!!!! The kids loved it so much we had a tough time getting them to leave it and go sight-seeing during the day. Great location, just a quick walk to Michigan Ave., restaurants, sights, etc. You can see the Navy Pier fireworks from the balcony!!! The kids loved the pool and although I didn't use the fitness room, it looked great. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to family and friends. The owner, JP, was very easy to work with and helped in making a great vacation for my family and I.

Location was great with close proximity to Michigan Avenue and local restaurants. A spectacular view from the deck. This was the perfect size for our group. So comfy it was hard to get everyone out the door to see all Chicago had to offer. An added plus was the in unit washer/dryer allows you to bring less and have plenty of room for souvenirs or a simple carryon (no baggage fees).

We had a great time. This apartment had a brilliant location with a great view 51 floors up! The apartment was spotless and had some great touches like the welcome basket and tourist brochures/maps. Nothing was out of place at all. JP was very helpful and always quick to respond to any questions we had before coming - we're so glad we stayed in this apartment rather than a hotel. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to all of our friends. Thanks for a great time!
