Check in a few days prior was difficult as the owner/manager didn’t message me or email me back… I had to call VRBO to have them investigate. Once they were made aware, smooth sailing from then on. Also, they listed a jacuzzi on site which was an error,and that was disappointing as I planned on that. Overall, despite these two things, great place ti stay! ##### Susan S.

Unit is spacious, bathroom is a little tight the only issue I experienced was NOISE, first two nights it was the heater (I think) the last night I could hear foot steps from above and on the early morning of Monday it sounded like construction. Location is great if you want to be steps from high end shopping and restaurants. ##### Elizabeth G.

The stay was absolutely incredible. I felt so comfortable and so welcomed. The Gold Coast neighborhood is incredibly charming and so walkable to the lake, downtown, bars/restaurants, any anywhere you needed to go. The listing was exactly how it looked. I felt safe most importantly and it was free of any outside noise/distractions. The unit is on the third floor and there is no elevator, for those that are staying with lots of luggage. However, I would say that it is very much worth it and I would stay here again! ##### Ian C.

The description of the unit is spot on. While most people have fun in Chicago staying here, ours was a surgical visit to Northwestern Hospital. This was the perfect alternative to the hospital rate of over $400 @ night at the hotels around the hospital. It was very clean and had everything we needed to fix the few meals that we had there. The bed was also comfortable. Most importantly, the communications with Jorge were great. We had the sign in information in plenty of time and he was quick to answer any questions that we had. The street was well lit and quiet, which we appreciated. We were very happy to have found this place. ##### Marilyn R.

Older building (which you want in this area) - no issues with hot water, water pressure, or heater. Lots of attention to detail like including laundry baskets to do laundry downstairs. Cozy, beautiful apartment. Walking distance to a grocery store, Walgreens, CVS, and coffee shop. Lots of pubs in the area. Higher-end restaurants nearby, so I usually walked about 15min towards downtown to eat elsewhere. Very quiet, picturesque, street with easy access to concrete beach. Red-Line access is across the street from the grocery store, about a 7 minute walk. Hope to rent again next time I'm in Chicago. ##### Courtney W. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy K. 18 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### a stylish refuge in the heart of Chicago with some nice ironic touches . . . Seriously, this is an ideal place to stay alone or as a couple (or use the sofa bed to add one). I stayed 10 nights in March, 2024, in town for theater, music at various venues (Symphony Center to jazz clubs), museums, urban ramblings. The accommodation is a half-block from Lake Shore Drive and access to walking along the lakefront trail or taking a bus to anywhere along Michigan Avenue or Union Station. In the other direction, you have 3-4 blocks to the red line "L', a grocery store, and many restaurants, bars, and shops. You are safe walking in this neighborhood day or evening. I was, and did. The accommodation itself is exactly as pictured, comfortably and rather elegantly furnished. The kitchen is well equipped; the bed is comfy firm. Yes, you are on the third floor without an elevator. There are actually only 2 flights of interior stairs, and the hallway and staircase are architecturally beautiful. There are also external stairs up to the front door. The street is so quiet that it is hard to believe you are indeed in the heart of Chicago. Communication with the hosts was quick and easy when needed, instructions and entry were clear. I'm home now, so happy to have found and stayed here. I hope to return. ##### Nancy K.

And it was very clean. We learned that the responsiveness of the host was very good, as when we got there Chicago was experiencing an end of summer extreme heat wave; it was 99 outside and when we got up into the apartment the a/c had not been on and it was much hotter than 98\. The a/c is in the bedroom only, and while that would have been quite adequate for "normal" days, it was not going to cool the other rooms in that kind of heat. After speaking with Sean, one of the hosts, he had a fan purchased and delivered within 2 hours that we were able to place at the entrance of the now cool bedroom and pull the cool air into the other rooms. The fan was tall and thin and quiet and took up almost no space and made the rest of our stay comfortable. It's in a lovely neighborhood, just a block or two from Magnificent mile, easy bus access, and close to Oak Street Lake. We went to Lou Malnati's for my first Chicago deep dish pizza. It is just around the corner and we actually ate there twice, in 5 days. It was SO good and if you like chocolate, their chocolate obsession dessert is indescribable, 4-minute walk from the apt. at State & Rush St. It was a great place to stay. And about the stairs, it's 19 steps times 2, but how considerate that on the landing of the 2nd floor, there is a chair, which we almost needed! ##### Lynn W.
