Excellent location, near public transportation and within walking distance to restaurants and sights along Michigan Ave. We enjoyed our one week stay. Unit has been updated but the building is older, so be aware that the floors transmit heavy step sounds to the unit below. Same can occur with the unit above. Experience city sounds and birds in the morning. May be a good idea to pack earplugs. Dan is an excellent host!
Amazing location, steps from the Miracle Mile! Nestled in the perfect neighborhood near shops and restaurants all decorated for Christmas. Warm and welcoming with a very communicative host! We had a wonderful time.
Host was incredibly responsive. There was a small issue with a door and someone was over to fix it in under an hour. Easy access by train and minutes walk from resturants, bars, and shopping. Location was everything we could have asked for.
Had a very good stay here very close to the city at the same time very nice and quiet a lot of amenities and space affordable and clean thank you guys!

Hi Gelmut! Thanks a lot for your review! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed your stay here and found it the perfect place to enjoy the city!
The unit was very nice and the location was great. But, the shower/tub drain left 2” of standing water while showering. The furniture definitely needed an up grade. The occupants on the above floor were unruly noisy from 6am all day.
This place had everything that we needed for me and my family! It is a great location close to many great bars/restauranrs/attractions. We will stay again!

Hi Blake! So glad you enjoyed your stay and the unit! We look forward to seeing you again!
We had a great stay at Dan’s property! The location cannot be beat - quiet street close to the triangle and the beach. Many great restaurants and coffee shops and walkable to old town!
We will definitely be back next year!

Thanks for your feedback, Lindsay. It was lovely having you stay.
We are a family of four from Switzerland and stayed in this apartment from June 27 to July 8, 2026. As expected, the location is perfect for everything you need in Chicago. Everything is within walking distance. The apartment was clean. HOWEVER, the apartment has significant flaws. There were only 3 glasses, 3 knives, and 3 chairs—and this in an apartment supposedly meant for 6 people. There are no cleaning supplies provided for longer stays. The oven was unusable because the door (which was warped) wouldn’t close. After contacting the host, we received only empty promises, but no action was taken. No refund at all. The furniture urgently needs to be replaced—chair legs are falling off, etc.—which was a safety hazard. The loft bed creaks so loudly, and the mattresses are old and uncomfortable. No one can get up at night without waking everyone else. The double bed is only slightly better. The apartment is very noisy; tenants come and go constantly upstairs and downstairs. You need luck to get a quiet night’s sleep. The hallway and stairwell stink for everyone—they haven’t been cleaned in ages. Once, our daughter was so scared because a homeless person was sleeping there. In summary, I recommend this apartment for a maximum of 1–2 nights because of its great location. For anything longer, I don’t recommend it. I was and still am surprised that this apartment is supported and offered by Fewo. It doesn’t meet the standard.
Loved the neighborhood and the property. So many great restaurants and shopping one block away and beautiful Lake Michigan one block in the other direction. Will definitely stay again!

Hi Erin! Thanks a lot for your review! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed your stay here and found it the perfect place to enjoy the city!
Proximity to Michigan Ave was what we were looking for. Great space, good communication with property manager. Note, this rental is on the second floor so you need to take your bags up a flight of stairs.

5 Star location - however unit is very dated and not clean - unit needs updating in furniture, fixtures and TV
The apartment was absolutely perfect for those in town with a full itinerary. Close to lots of great restaurants and bars and a short car ride from any other part of the city. Plenty of sleeping space, and a huge common room to wind down after a day of activity. Host was quick to respond with questions and provided a very detailed guide to the home and neighborhood. Would stay here again!

Thanks for your feedback, Timothy. It was lovely having you stay.
Dans place was perfect. You can’t beat the location — a beautiful brownstone in one of the best parts of the city. It had everything we needed. Will definitely be back!

Hi Nick! Thanks a lot for your review! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed your stay here and found it the perfect place to enjoy the city!
Tremendous location and a nice brownstone unit. Close to a lot of upscale shopping and the Watertower. Easy to find restaurants nearby and Uber to other areas. Parking is crazy expensive if you're staying long. 40/day with no in/out, valet requires, and a block walk. Likely better options for just overnight or with a longer longer walk. The beds were pretty spartan and a little rickety but functional. The host was responsive when we reached out with questions, and we felt very safe there. Would recommend.
Loved the location- so close to the bus stop! We got around town just fine either by walking right to downtown Chicago or taking the bus. We found super cheap parking within walking distance.
The apartment itself was super clean with all the amenities we needed. The beds were comfy and we all got much needed rest!
Will stay again in the future!

We really enjoyed our stay in Gold Coast. The place was clean and in a safe area. Parking is difficult and expensive but that’s expected. There’s so much to do and see, even within walking distance. We had a great trip and Dan’s Gold Coast Brownstone was at the heart of it. Thanks Dan!

Hi Josh! Thanks a lot for your review! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed your stay here and found it the perfect place to enjoy city!
This condo was perfect for what I was looking for. The location is amazing-beautiful townhouses and apartments throughout the neighborhood. Fancy restaurants nearby, but also walking distance to Portillos/non-fancy restaurants. We were able to walk to the subway and get anywhere in the city. I will absolutely book again. Looking forward to returning!

Hi Emily! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us! We look forward to seeing you again.
The unit is in a great location and easy to get around. I didn't have a car with me, so I didn't have to worry about parking. It was clean and easy to communicate with the owner. The building itself is an older Chicago building, although the unit has been updated. I really enjoyed my stay!

Hi Emily! Thanks a lot for your review! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed your stay here and found it the perfect place to enjoy the city!
This was a great location to stay and close to a lot of restaurants, shopping, transportation, etc. felt safe in the neighborhood and every place we walked. Parking is hard, but it’s a big city. We got lucky and got a spot in the small lot right down the street not far away. It is listed as a garage when he sends you info, but it is just a lot. The beds were comfortable and the apartment was cute and clean although it could use a good deep cleaning. The furniture in living room is not what is pictured and it needs to be replaced. It had smells and stains and one chair was ripped. It’s hard to chill and relax after a long day exploring when it was like that, but it worked for what we needed. Management was responsive when we had questions. Overall, we would probably stay here again
