We had a wonderful experience. Smooth checkin and parking thanks to the meticulous details provided in the email and via text. The unit was very clean and well appointed and has beautiful views of downtown Chicago. Location is excellent with great restaurants within walking distance. We could not have asked for a more responsive host. They were quick and detailed in their communication. We will surely come back and stay with them again. Thank you.
We had a wonderful stay. Chicago weather was cool , the fireplace was nice to warm up to. We walked everywhere, only drove one day of our 5 day stay.

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.

Thank you! We’re glad you enjoyed the comfortable bed, stunning views, ninth-floor amenities, and easy access to transit and nearby restaurants. Having a washer and dryer in the apartment is especially convenient for longer stays and we do supply detergent and fabric softener. We appreciate you staying with us!
Excellent accommodations, stunning view, comfortable bedding. The only issue was the temperature in the penthouse due to the fluctuating temperatures outside.

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. Very nice to have parking connected to building. Owners excellent at communication and respond quickly! Located a short walk to Michigan Ave and many restaurants!

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 thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and hope to return in the future! The location is great, the views were amazing, and the apartment was stocked with all the things we could possibly need during a stay. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re glad the apartment had everything you needed and that the views and location made your stay special. With a Walk Score of 100, the Red Line right on the corner, and Jewel-Osco in the building, it really makes exploring Chicago effortless.
We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another true Penthouse experience!
This was the perfect spot for my trip with convenient access to the Red Line traveling from the airport and to Wrigley Field. The views of downtown were amazing! You won’t be disappointed!

Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled you loved the property, the location, and our communication—it means a lot. We can’t wait to welcome you back soon for another true Penthouse experience in one of our 11 units!
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.
First VRBO experience. Everything we needed was available either in the suite or close.
