A fantastic place to stay for up to 6 people comfortably. Centrally located with access to restaurants, a great grocery store at the bottom of the building, and a Red Line stop right on the corner.

Jeri Lou and James were terrific hosts with such a beautiful penthouse. They made their instructions very easy to navigate around the plaza. The directions and recommendations made exploring stress free and I was able to explore more than I anticipated. The cleanness of the penthouse was top tier and they made us feel welcomed with their hospitality.

This was the perfect spot for a get away in the sky! We had so much fun just enjoy the skyline. It was like being in Gotham. The views of the structures, fog, snow and bustling city were both relaxing and captivating. Everything we needed was there, it was cozy, clean and easy to truly relax in the homey environment. The fireplace was the perfect touch. Owners are super communicative checking in every step of the way. 10/10 place to stay.

Thank you for such a wonderful and vivid review. We’re so glad the penthouse felt like the perfect “getaway in the sky” and that you were able to enjoy the skyline, fog, snow, and energy of the city from above. We love your “Gotham” description — Chicago can be incredibly dramatic from that height, especially with the skyline, weather, and city lights all working together. It’s great to hear the space felt cozy, clean, well-stocked, and easy to relax in. The fireplace really is a perfect touch on those colder Chicago days, and we’re happy it added to the experience. We also appreciate your comments about the communication. We work hard to provide a true Penthouse experience from start to finish, and we’d be very happy to host you again anytime.
