This Property is in a great location, nearby restaurants, and shopping. Access to the apartment was easy with clear instructions, and the hosts were very responsive. You have many options in nearby parking garages, would highly recommend using a parking app, we used SpotHero. The roof top outdoor space is fantastic. Our only recommendation is to add blackout shades in the bedrooms, even with blinds it’s quite bright in the morning. Overall, everything you would expect from a VRBO property listing.

The unit is in a great location and the lake views are awesome. The building staff are very friendly and it was great to enjoy Dollop and the gang there. Staywell did an excellent job of communicating. We did find the furnishings very, very inexpensive. Assembly of the guest bed was not complete and we had to put it together at 11pm. Whoever installed it messed up. The building shows signs of wear and the apartment is in the same shape. Kitchen was mostly clean, however, we did find black residue on plates at the bottom of the stack. So we immediately put them all in the dishwasher. The bathroom was pretty clean with the exception of a dingy shower curtain liner which we pointed out on checkout. The air conditioners struggled in the heat and high humidity, so the unit was mostly cool but very humid. The AC units need to be serviced and cleaned with maybe new filters to remove the dirt and grime. We also suggested the throw pillows be washed right away. The floor and the carpeted rooms need a good steam cleaning and the area rug is not flat and could be a problem. This unit is located in a rental only building. Bottom line-location and views were spectacular.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Sept 2026
Elaine, we are genuinely sorry that several aspects of your stay fell short of your expectations, and we wish we had the opportunity to address these issues during your stay. Most of these could have been promptly resolved. We take guest comfort seriously and have already taken immediate action. The air conditioning units have been fully serviced and cleaned for maximum cooling. The bedroom carpets have received a steam cleaning as part of our regular maintenance, and all textiles and liners have been inspected and replaced. To clarify for future guests, the "guest bed" is a pull-out sofa bed. We supply fresh linens and pillows for it, but leave it folded during the day so guests can enjoy the living area space.

The location was great - very walkable for almost everything. Finding parking nearby was not a problem. We did wish there were kleenex in the unit, but other than that it had most everything we needed. The amenities in the lobby were super handy and the rooftop deck would have been great in better weather so someone looking for a great location with some shared outdoor space should definitely keep this unit in mind.

This is a terrific, spacious, and well-appointed top-floor 2BR condo with water views from both bedrooms (through neighboring buildings in one bedroom). Short walk to Michigan Ave and to the Gold Coast. Even shorter walk to the beach, and a 20-minute walk to the river. Very easy access to Uber/Lyft (the building has a small, semi-circular driveway).

Great location and amazing view

The property was great - penthouse with easy access to the rooftop patio. Unfortunately the weather didn't allow us to take full advantage of the patio, but it was very nice and would be great on a warm sunny day. Pictures of the property are accurate and it is a great place for 3-4 people to stay. Lots of food and drink within walking distance and a short Uber ride to plenty of tourist attractions. I would return for another stay.

it is all about the neighborhood. walking distance to north end of the magnificant mile. the neighborhood is cute, quiet, and walkable. you can see the lake from the unit and there is a little convienent store up the block which was nice. coffee shop in building as well. the unit is clean, easy access, perfect base camp. I would book this again if and when I head back to chicago. rooftop patio is an awesome perk. one small minimal compaint, two words, blackout curtains. those would make this place absolutely amazing. still, at the price, a perfect place to call home when away from home

Just what I was looking for

Rather than rent multiple hotel rooms to house my husband and me, my mother, and my teen on a multi-night stay in Chicago, I decided to look for a property centrally located to all the tourist attractions we wanted to see and that would offer space and sleeping arrangements for all plus a kitchen/dining area for breakfasts or other meals in. We found it, plus big windows that made the place light and airy and a building attendant who made us feel welcome. Also, the management company was just a text away, if needed, and the instructions about how to enter/leave the property were very clear.

Hi, we are extremely disappointed that you left a 2 star review that hurts this property's rating. Please allow us to publicly address what happened. Upon your checkout, you left behind a small item in the refrigerator and contacted us several hours later asking to retrieve the item, at which point our housekeepers had already disposed of it. You were very upset (and rude to our team), but it is not our fault that you left behind these items and waited to contact us. We try very hard to deliver an enjoyable experience for every guest and earn a positive 5 star review. This otherwise fantastic, highly rated listing should not be penalized because of your mistake.

Great descriptions for check-in

The email that is sent before check in comes with photos explaining the process very clearly. Vrbo is very clean. Great views down to the lake. Building is older so bathroom is basic but fine for what you need. Extra blankets and sheets provided. Parking in the building was more expensive than we had been told. $48/day for an SUV. Good coffee shop on the first level.
