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.

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.

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

Incredible city views!

We absolutely loved our stay. So much room for our family of 5. We loved waking up to stunning views of the Lake and city scape. The place was spotless when we arrived (kudos to the cleaning staff). Great location, walkable to so many things but also right on the red line. I don’t think we will be able to stay anywhere else during future trips to Chicago!
