This place is in a great location in the heart of Chicago, near most popular attractions and right at a subway stop for going anywhere. Tons of restaurants within walking distance. Highly recommend!! As others have mentioned, the views are spectacular, day and night.

Being in the heart of Chicago, with the Red Line right on the corner and so many attractions within walking distance, really makes it easy to experience the city without needing a car.
And we agree — the views are a huge part of what makes the stay special, both during the day and when the city lights up at night. We work hard to provide a true Penthouse experience, and we’d be very happy to host you again anytime.
Thank you! We’re glad you enjoyed both the views and the location—those are two of our favorite highlights as well. We appreciate you staying with us and hope to welcome you back again soon.
Thank you for the review—we’re glad you enjoyed the accommodation, the location, and the views. We appreciate you staying with us and hope to welcome you back again in the future.

much for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear the apartment felt clean, well-appointed, and worthy of those “amazing views” — they really are something special from up here. And the walk-everywhere location is a huge perk, with a Walk Score of 100, the Red Line right on the corner, and Jewel-Osco in the building for anything you might need.
I’m glad communication and hosting felt smooth throughout your stay. We’d love to welcome you back the next time you’re in Chicago for another true Penthouse experience!

Thank you for the 10/10! We’re glad the views and location made your week in Chicago easy and enjoyable. Being in River North—Walk Score 100 with the Red Line (Grand) on the corner—puts everything close by. We strive to deliver a true Penthouse experience and would love to host you again.
The apartment was beautiful. Amazing views, central location, grocery store downstairs, and transit steps from the door. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay, just sad it ended so soon. Host communicated everything very well. I didn’t feel the need to wonder or question anything. We will definitely be booking this again when we return.

Linda, thank you for you business. With a walk score of 100 it has the very BEST location you could ask for. Jewel grocery store located in the building. REDLINE on the corner. The best restaurants within walking distance. The Mag Mile and River just a few blocks away. The views are the very best the city has to offer.
Everything in the apartment worked well. The apartment was very spacious. We did not park. Host was very communicative. The property has fabulous views of the Chicago skyline. The amenities were fabulous: swimming pool, outdoor area, library, game room, excellent, well equipped gym.
