We very much enjoyed this penthouse and the stunning view. We watched the Navy Pier fireworks from the windows. The location is terrific, with much to do/see within easy walking distance, and easy access to the L trains for venturing further away. We didn’t do any cooking, but the kitchen was well appointed with dishes and other kitchen essentials (like coffee filters, etc.) for enjoying a continental breakfast and snacks. All we needed to purchase was our groceries.

Family getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the penthouse. The views are incredible and the apartment was well-appointed with everything we needed. We did laundry halfway through our stay and went home with some clean clothes. My husband and I both enjoyed the soaking tub. The only downsides were that the bed and pillows were quite firm for us and the sauna wasn’t working properly during our visit. Traveling with a toddler can be a real challenge but the apartment helped greatly.

Perfect Stay in the City!

What a wonderful stay we had at the Grand Plaza penthouse! Jeri & James thought of all the details that make an VRBO feel like a home. Their instructions were very thorough, and when we did reach out, Jeri was very responsive throughout our stay.Calling this condo home during our trip to Chicago made it extra memorable! The views of the city were breathtaking and the location was more than we could have asked for. You will find travel to and from the airport a breeze with the Red Line a few steps away, so many amazing restaurants within a 10 minute walk, and an enjoyable stroll to both the River Walk and Michigan Avenue.Our stay at the Grand Plaza Penthouse coincided with one of Chicago’s summer heatwaves, however, having this unit to come back to after a day full of adventures and sightseeing refreshed us and made us forget about the temperatures outside. One night, we even chose to enjoy the city views from the balcony and ordered Lou’s deep dish pizza to the building. I could go on, but all of this is to say, my family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Grand Plaza penthouse and would highly recommend!

Christmas Holiday in Chicago

Everything about our stay was wonderful. The owners explained the process and all went smoothly. The views from the Penthouse were spectacular. We loved the ambiance with the easy to operate fireplace. The location was the best! Very safe and was very convenient having the grocery store right next to bldg. We would love to stay here again if ever visiting Chicago.

Great location and view

We had an absolutely amazing stay on the 52nd floor of this condo in downtown Chicago! The view of the city and lake was breathtaking, especially during the air and water show—we had front-row seats to the Blue Angels buzzing the skyline. The unit was exactly as described—clean, well-stocked, and super comfortable. The building amenities were top-notch; we spent a ton of time relaxing by the pool. Overall, it was a perfect getaway, and we can't wait to come back!

Great little get away

We stayed at this rental 10 years ago and liked it so much that we looked it up and stayed here again recently. Clean and well stocked. Quiet and friendly neighbors. Doorman was friendly and helpful. Great location for walking and ubering to many places. We hope to bring our kids next time and stay in one of the owners larger units.

Great way to experience Chicago!

Loved the view, and the location was close to a lot of the things we wanted to see there. Place was very clean, and I loved that there was a grocery store steps away. It was on the cool side that week, so we didn't use the pool as much as we thought we would... but when we did, it was clean and well maintained. The hosts were great about making sure we had all of the information we needed about picking up our keys, parking, etc Definitely recommend!
