The hosts did a great job explaining the amenities in their condo, in the building, and in the surrounding neighborhood (along with important detailed access instructions). The condo had everything you need for pleasure and business travelers along with great views of the Hancock Tower, Near North, and Lake Michigan. The area is best explored on foot so leave your car parked and get some steps in.

Sky High

The property was clean, well-equipped, stylish and comfortable. The location was close to sites and super convenient for shopping. Best of all was the view - it was wonderful to watch the high rises and the lake changing with the light and weather. Thank you for sharing a wonderful space.

The Best Part of Chicago

This beautiful penthouse was absolutely breath taking at every view. Along with the best seat in the house, it was super clean, very spacious and close to everything!! It had everything stocked in it to make it feel like home. Another huge plus was the grocery store on the bottom floor corner spot. The owners were wonderful and communicative the entire trip. I would 100 out of 100 recommend choosing this penthouse for your stay in Chicago!

This was a great location and a wonderful apartment with fantastic views! It was so nice to have a grocery store downstairs and a real kitchen for days when I had meetings from 7:30 am to 10:30 pm and could make something at "home" late at night and not go out again or wait for delivery.

Questionable Checkin Process, Great Property

The property manager required I send sensitive personal data (photo of gov't identification, names of my children) to them via SMS or email prior to check in... My objections were met with "so you'd like to cancel the booking?". Rearranging travel plans mid-trip was highly undesirable, so I assumed this massive risk of identity theft and sent the information. The stranger I was communicating with confirmed receipt, then ordered me to PRINT some paperwork. I replied that we were already in the middle of an extended multi-week vacation (we fully intended to make this and other bookings mid-trip to allow us flexibility with dates) and therefore without access to a printer. The host stated that I should "take an Uber to Kinkos" because without this printed paperwork, we would be denied entry. This was an extremely frustrating, atypical, and risky booking process, so while I will not book again any property from this host, the place itself and the location were all as described
