We loved the location in River North with shops around plenty of nice restaurants. Walkable and good buses around. Apartment was very nice, we were 5 adults. A bit noisy because of bar nearby ( it depends of your tolerance to noise. Some of us were disturbed some heard nothing). We enjoyed our stay !

Great central location. Clean and well appointed! It is quite loud at nearly all times from street noise, but I don’t think that the property has any control over that!
Overall, great stay.

Hard parking.
I had to pay for the parking.
I could cook but i didn't
There is no ice machine but ice tray.
I booked here because i see the lakeview.
Unfortunately lake is half mile away from the property.
But the building itself secured.
Room(apartment) is clean and neat.

Chicago
Visit Chicago a couple times a year. I enjoy the being downtown amid all the hustle and bustle. This location was perfect!
Walking distance to most things which is convenient. I like how the contact-less check-in made the entire process seamless.
I highly recommend booking this location for any business or leisure accommodations! Two thumbs up

Overall: A nice stay in a great part of town.
Pros: Walking distance to almost everything downtown Chicago. Check-in is easy, but not the most intuitive instructions for the building codes. Spacious and clean room.
Cons: The view. DO NOT let the pictures of the property deceive you… Unless you are on the top floor, the view is not very good. Also, says there’s rooftop access but no way to get to the roof (door locked). The walls are thin inside the apartment. Layout was a bit bizarre. Advert says sleeps 6 for our unit… maybe if you have 2 adults and 4 children, but 6 adults is a no go. Honestly wish there was a bett

Disappointed
Apartment needs touch up paint and holes need to filled. Burnt holes in couch. Refrigerator door sounds like it’s going to fall off. Toilet is not attached to the wall. The A/C did not work and we literally melted. Had to leave windows open at night to circulate air and gotten eaten alive by bugs. I was given a small refund but for the amount of money I spent I feel I deserved more.

After checkout I received an email with $75 charge for deep cleaning.
I asked about details and never replied. Just made the unilateral charge.

fui al maraton de chicago y el lugasr esta excelente, muy cerca de millenium park y de las atracciones principales, un barrio muy seguro y el edificio muy bonito.
Super bien situé pour les touristes, facile d'accès, multitue de restaurants aux alentours pour tous les gouts. Près de plusieurs site à la marche, velo, trotinette ou Uber. On a adoré. Manquait une secheuse dans notre logement et un peu de finition, mais super propre, confortable et on a tout ce qu'on a de besoin! Je recommande
