Beautiful stay on top of the world

We stayed for a week. The place was beautiful and the view was spectacular, especially at night. The building has amenities galore: pool, gym, BBQ area, and a grocery store 3 steps from the entry door. The hosts were great - they gave very explicit directions that made check in and check out a breeze. The washer and dryer were a great plus! The shower had strong water pressure too. We did a walking murder mystery tour that was great, had drinks at Chicago 360 and saw the bean - all within walking distance. All in all it was a fantastic trip.

Spectacular, stunning views with amenities galore!

Visiting with my husband and son for our first trip to Chicago, we were absolutely blown away walking into this spacious, beautiful, oasis in the sky! The city views from the huge balcony were breathtaking. The location can't be beat with many wonderful restaurants, a grocery store, and the red line right outside the door. Within walking distance to many attractions. The communication with the owners Jim and Jeri-Lou was excellent, and it is evident the pride and care they put into their properties. Every detail was thought of from a fully stocked kitchen, bathroom amenities, office supplies, tissue boxes, washer and dryer with detergent and dryer sheets. Not a detail was missed! We played several games of pool and basketball on the amenities floor. The gym and pool looked wonderful as well. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Can't say enough, we will definitely be back to this amazing property!

A Chicago Haven (Heaven)

This is an amazing place!! First of all, for visitors it's close to many of the things you would want to do in Chicago. We live an hour or so away in the suburbs, but my wife loves the city skyline so I decided to book this for her birthday. It's much better than any hotel! The hosts are very helpful and responsive. There are a lot of instructions on entering and parking, but their directions were perfect and we had no trouble finding the place or checking in. The doorman was friendly and so were the other people who stayed in the building. If you are searching for a place to stay just book it!!

Lovely Stay at the Penthouse!

I really can't say enough about this property. Beautiful views, fully equipped home with everything you need.The location was amazing and close to all that we love to do. The red line was literally right outside the door and the grocery store on the first floor was so convenient especially in the sub zero weather.The space was very cozy and the fireplace was a special touch. We loved sitting by the fire with a glass of wine looking out at the water and city views.We will definitely stay here again next time we come to the Windy City.

Way better than expected! Wow!!

Thank you so much for sharing your penthouse! We had a very relaxing time and hope to come back sometime when it is a little warmer and we can explore the area more! It was an amazing location for sure! There were so many nice touches from the ample number of outlets/places to charge, the plentiful kleenex boxes, the kitchen amenities and even a fan. We felt right at home and literally needed nothing. Thank you so much for making this past week exactly what we needed!

High marks for this high roost

A big, beautiful, immaculate, wonderfully furnished space 51 floors above the city. Everything in the owner's description is true. Watching the sun rise over the lake from that height was a treat. Also being able to walk to restaurants, Navy Pier, river tours, great blues clubs, plus hop the subway just a few doors away. The door staff was very helpful in stashing our luggage on both sides of our stay (be sure to "show them some kindness" for that service).

Wow - exceeded expectations

This is a really remarkable property. The view from the floor-to-ceiling windows will have your jaw on the floor from the moment you walk in. The enormous wrap-around outdoor patio 51 stories up will take your breath away. The amenities in the building, including gym/sauna/steam room/pool/grill area are all first-rate. Parking was seamless, and the neighborhood was great as a tourist. The apartment was quiet, spacious and comfortable. Air conditioning was very effective. Fireplace an unexpected but nice touch. Kitchen had everything we needed to easily prepare meals and snacks when we wanted to have a quiet night in or a home-cooked breakfast. This was a vacation to remember thanks to this exceptional property. I'll be looking for any excuse to come back and stay here again.

Spotless Apartment, Great Location, Fabulous Views

Booked this apartment for a five night stay with my daughter and could not have been more pleased. As the header notes, the apartment was precisely as indicated on the site, well-cleaned and had views of the city which couldn't be beat. At the same time it was within walking distance of many major sites, and a CTA stop was near the buidling for those using public transit. Would definitely be happy to stay here again on a future stay.
