Condo is perfection! Close to everything, well-maintained and very clean, and with small and big extras (like parking and grocery) that make your stay easy and complete. The views are just amazing! First VRBO that we wished we could have just moved into. Owners Jeri and James are incredibly responsive and go the extra mile to ensure you know everything about the unit, the building, and the area. You will not be disappointed in this rental.

Thank you so much for this incredibly kind 10/10 review. We’re thrilled to hear the condo felt “move-in ready” and that the little details—from in-building parking to the grocery downstairs—made your stay easy and seamless. Being truly walkable (Walk Score of 100) is one of the best parts of the location, and we’re glad you enjoyed having everything right outside the door. We also really appreciate the note about cleanliness and upkeep—our long-time cleaning team takes a lot of pride in that, and it shows. And of course, those skyline views never get old for us either. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’re grateful for the trust you placed in us. We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another true Penthouse experience at Grand Plaza.

Thank you for the 10/10! We’re thrilled the spacious layout, “many decks,” and those spectacular, award-winning views made your stay. The balconies are one of our favorite places to sip coffee, take photos, and soak in the city. Being in River North—with a Walk Score of 100, Jewel-Osco in the building, and the Red Line (Grand) on the corner—makes exploring easy. We’d love to welcome you back for a true Penthouse experience.

Amazing Penthouse, clean, perfectly equipped, convenient, great doorstaff. Complete and scenic. View nearly as good as John Hancock. Convenient to everything. Full equipped kitchen. Room to move. Room to work. Room to relax.Administration is friendly but precise. It is a relaxing home to enjoy after days of meetings or sightseeing. It is NOT a party pad. Meet for pre-post dinner cocktails or watch the game with a friend or two-Perfect !!!My favorite WOW stay in Chicago.

Thank you for this outstanding review—we truly appreciate it. We’re glad the penthouse delivered on comfort, space, and functionality, whether for work, relaxing, or winding down after meetings and sightseeing. The views, doorstaff, and fully equipped kitchen are all key parts of what we aim to provide, so it’s great to hear those stood out. You captured the spirit of the home perfectly: a refined, well-run penthouse designed to be enjoyed—not a party pad. With a Walk Score of 100 and everything close by, it really does make Chicago easy and enjoyable. Calling this your “favorite WOW stay in Chicago” means a great deal to us. We strive to provide a true Penthouse experience, and we’d be honored to welcome you back anytime.

It was a great location and condo. Beautiful views of the city. Clean. Check in easy. Doormen/women were extremely helpful. Only downsides were 1) the pool was incredibly busy with adults standing around. No real room for my kids to swim so we never did. 2) the elevators- 3 were broken while we were there so it was pretty much always a long line
Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 4 Oct 2025
Thank you for for calling out the clean condo, easy check-in, helpful door staff, and those skyline views. Our River North location makes exploring simple—Walk Score 100, Jewel-Osco in the building, and the Red Line (Grand) on the corner. On the pool: we note in our guide that weekdays are best (and mornings/early evenings) if you want open swim space. On elevators: during your dates one car was briefly under maintenance; the others were operating, but peak times can create lines in a high-rise. We’ve added a pre-arrival tip about timing for both amenities to help guests plan around busy periods. We appreciate the feedback and would love to welcome you back for a true Penthouse experience.
