All communication was timely. The location is perfect for getting around in Chicago. It was clean, safe and has great views. All of the amenities in the building were amazing. The rooftop pool, gym, and the outdoor terrace area were our favorites. I highly recommend this property. It was wonderful to have the Whole Foods nearby. We took a lot of Lyft rides, and it was so convenient to have the loading zone in front of the building. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. This is an excellent place! ##### Janice M.
