Thank you for the wonderful review. We’re so glad you had a great stay and were able to enjoy Chicago mostly on foot. The fireplace is definitely a nice bonus when the weather is cool, and we’re happy it made the penthouse feel warm and comfortable after time out in the city. The location really does make it easy to explore without needing a car, and we’re glad that worked so well for your 5-day stay. We’d be very happy to host you again anytime.

Beautiful views of Chicago and Lake Michigan from 52nd floor! Condo was modern, clean and had beautiful furnishings. Owner provided anything you might need while staying there.

We also appreciate your comments about the condo being modern, clean, well-furnished, and stocked with everything you needed. We try hard to make the penthouse comfortable and easy to settle into from the moment guests arrive. The connected parking garage is definitely a nice convenience, and the location makes it easy to walk to Michigan Avenue, restaurants, shopping, and so much of downtown Chicago. Thank you as well for the kind words about the communication. We work hard to provide a true Penthouse experience and would be very happy to host you again anytime.

We were unable to stay due to the airline, airport and weather. However, the communication with the owner was unparalleled during our ordeal. The continued to communicate throughout our inability to travel and arranged if we could arrive to be accepted as if we were on time. Based on the honesty of the owner and the professionalism I know the location is a top 10. When do get to go to Chicago we will choose this rental first before looking anywhere else.

Thank you for such a kind and thoughtful review. We’re very sorry you were unable to make the trip due to the airline, airport, and weather issues, but we truly appreciate your comments about the communication during such a frustrating travel situation. When plans get disrupted, we try very hard to stay responsive, flexible where possible, and make sure guests know they will still be taken care of if they are able to arrive. It means a lot that you recognized the honesty and professionalism behind that effort. We would be very happy to host you when you are finally able to make it to Chicago, and we hope you get the chance to enjoy the penthouse, the location, and the views in person next time.

Communication from the host was prompt, clear, and consistently helpful from check-in to departure. The building amenities—including the gym —were well-maintained and convenient.
