Location is great, right on the red line, near Grant Park and the Art Institute, 20 minutes walk to Millenium Park and 30 minutes to the river. In/out parking garages are plentiful nearby. The space felt very open and well lighted, had a good working area, good wifi, and it was great to have direct access to the roofdeck. We had a terrific stay and would love to come back!

Our family enjoyed spreading out in the loft. The location was fantastic for our sightseeing and museum trip. The apartment needs a handful of cosmetic updates but none of them interfere with function or comfort, and the apartment was clean and comfortably equipped with basics for our 5-day stay.

Great location, excellent communication

We booked on short notice and the hosts were very easy to work with. They gave us great instructions on how to get to & into the property, checked in with us along the way to ensure we were enjoying our stay, and wished us well after check-out. The building's common area is nice and bright, on a quiet street in Printer's Row. The apartment is an end unit on the top floor, so it was quiet and private. Great stay. Great hosts.

Felt like Home

This apartment/ condo was the cleanest rental that I've ever booked. Coming from a property manager myself. It was beautifully decorated. They had all the extras. Above and beyond on the towels, handtowels, blankets etc. We stayed 4 days and never ran out. Eveything was soft and top notch. They even left tea etc. I will definitely only book this property each time I come to Chicago. Thanks for all the small details.

Good stay and alternative to a hotel

Visting colleges with teenage daughter which called for some privacy. Good location for transit as it was a block or so from the Harrison (red line) station and near park & museums. The building and apartment were kind of tired and most of the lighting was independent; lamps and stands. had to do some searching to figure out how to turn things on and off.

Fantastic location!

Wonderful property, and even better location. Right next to the red line, and easy access to Uber/Lyft. The space itself is large, and great for catching up with friends. We loved using the Latch app- Iโ€™m always afraid Iโ€™m going to lose keys. Beds and pillows were very comfy! There could be some cosmetic updates, but that did affect our stay at all. The lights were not the best, it was very dark everywhere. Again, not a game changer. Overall, great stay and location!
