Magnificent

Incredible view from this amazing penthouse. We stayed here with family for a wedding and couldn't have been happier. This location was fabulous for our group and we walked everywhere. Restaurants, places to go, it was all right there. If you are staying there and it is going to be a hot day, just put the blinds down at night so the sun doesn't heat it up in the morning and you are good to go. Truly, everything was fabulous.

The View!

We loved our stay in Chicago! The grocery store near the entrance of the building had everything we needed. Also there were plenty of great restaurants nearby to eat at. The view was stunning during the day but breathtaking at night. Definitely worth every penny!

Stay here for the view!

The best thing about this place is very clearly the view, which matches/surpasses the images in the pictures. But it's also a very comfortable place to stay (good beds, comfy chairs/sofas). Yes, some things are a little worn - surely by former guests! But everything functioned well. As others have noted, you do hear city noise especially ambulances. The master bedroom has an exit door into the hallway and you can hear noise there as well, but it's infrequent as there aren't too many units per floor.Good location, friendly door-persons, so nice to have the grocery store downstairs. All in all, I would definitely stay here again!

Outstanding Penthouse Apartment

We stayed 5 days beginning Christmas Day and it was one of the most memorable vacations we’ve taken as a family. Our hosts were perfect in that they were always quick to respond (1-2 minutes), but everything was so well planned that we never really needed anything. The patio balcony is HUGE and you can see everything from 55 stories. Great views of the lake. Easy access to all of downtown via Uber or a short walk. We can’t say enough about this apartment, and we’d love to stay there again.

Beautiful view

Great penthouse with wonderful views of great Chicago architecture and the lake. I would stay again. Only minor issue was sleeping was more difficult than back home in small town Ohio. There were a lot of sirens etc. One bedroom also had a window open to the living room with all of its ambient light. Of course this issue is somewhat expected but I have not noticed noise as much staying at Chicago hotels. Still give it 5 stars

Thanksgiving family holiday

Five of us stayed in the penthouse for a long Thanksgiving weekend. The property has beautiful views, is in good condition, and was well stocked (kitchen well stocked, bathrooms well stocked; nice sheets and towels, etc). The owners communicated well pre and post stay, the doorman quickly gave us the keys at check-in. The property is centrally located with lots working walking distance. The gym on the 9th floor is big and modern.

Our family could not be happier with our stay at the Penthouse. Great location, Jewel next store is super convenient, and the unit/view is awesome. The owners are super attentive and helpful in making sure guests know their way getting in and around the building. I will be seeking out their smaller units in the future as well!

Location, Location, Location!

This was a great stay in the middle of downtown Chicago, right by the Redline, which took us all over the city. It was a perfect home base for our week in Chicago! We would have loved some outdoor furniture to sit on the balcony looking over the city, but other than that, it was perfect!
