About this property

Sonder The Opal | Studio Apartment

Art-filled galleries. Bustling cafes. Posh boutiques. The Opal is at the heart of River North. This five-story brick building is covered in large windows, mirroring the beautiful skyscrapers around it. Inside, chic decor, in-suite laundry, and a fully equipped kitchen complete your apartment. Step outside, and you’ll be amidst endless dining and entertainment. The cavatelli from Quartino Ristorante is our favorite guilty pleasure. Or, if you’d prefer a home-cooked meal, there’s a Whole Foods Market right down the street. Take your time wandering around the Museum of Contemporary Art or the City Gallery inside a historic water tower. Experience Chicago with a comfortable stay at The Opal.
A space that works for you

My stay never happened

Even though my reservation was confirmed, and VRBO told me that the property manager (Sonder) would reach out with access instructions, that never happened. I learned the day of arrival that Sonder had rented the unit. I had to scramble and find a hotel room at the last minute. I don’t know why they sent this review request to me.

Perfect

Small but just perfect. Me and the wife stayed here and had the greatest time. One minute from portillos, walking distance to mag mile, close to everything. We had such an amazing time here. Would definitely stay again.

Walkable and Clean

We really enjoyed our stay. The place was easy to find, very clean, and secure. Check in and out was easy and straight forward. The building is in a great location and we especially loved how walkable the neighborhood is. We would stay here again.
