The space
(Pssst... Quick favor if you're thinking about booking: Please read the entire listing as it likely answers any questions you may have. Thanks!)

To access the building, we give you access via email for building and unit entrance. You walk up the stairs to the elevators, and take the elevator to the top floor, the 8th floor.

When you exit the elevator, you turn right and then left down the hallway to your home. When you enter the home, it opens to a professionally designed home.

If you walk to the left of the living will find two bedrooms - one with with two full size beds, and one with a queen bed .There is also a bathroom close to both bedrooms. This is a special place, and we look forward to making your stay a 5-star experience!

Q: Is the neighborhood safe?
A: Very much so. 24 hours a day.

Q: PARKING?
A: The home is very easy to get to via public transit. If you decide to drive, we recommend apps like SpotAngel or SpotHero to find free or cheap parking ($10-20 / night).

Q: Do I need to bring towels, a hair dryer, or linens?
A: Nope! we provide all these things. We also provide you with a starter pack of toilet papers.

Q: When can I check in or check out?
A: Check in is 4pm and check out is 10am. Early check ins can be difficult if there are guests who checked out same day. We ask for an early check-in, or a late-check out fee, if you request either.

Q: Can I come and go as I please?
A: Yes. And we wouldn't trust any listing with which this isn't the case.

Q: Is the place professionally cleaned between guests?
A: Yes, and we take pride in providing a clean home for guests.

Q: What's my total booking price?
A: We honestly have no idea. With fees included, it only shows the guest how much they pay. This figure should be present after you enter your dates. Note that, pricing varies on a daily basis, and it actually uses some crazy algorithm to adjust it automatically, so I don't actually control this.

Q: Are the beds comfortable?
A: Very. Some guests say they're the best they've ever slept on! pop

Nice spot, needs improvement

Overall good place in a nice location close to restaurants, markets, and subway. Easy check-in. However, ran into a big ant issue in the kitchen for a couple days and a big water leak in the bathroom, which got everything wet and forced us to clear items out of the room for the rest of stay. Host got maintenance to come in and slow it down but it was uncomfortable to be in the bathroom for long.

Work and Play in the South Loop

I like this place for the convenience and quiet in the building itself (you do hear sirens at all hours but that is in all parts of downtown). This place would be great for a first timer to Chicago with kids in tow. Easy walks to almost all of the great museums. There are plenty of grocery and dining options nearby. I think that any of you that want a hearty breakfast to start the day should go to "Honey Berry Pancakes and Cafe" Lots of variety there. "Grant Park Bistro" looked cool but we never had time to go there. Also, try "Etta" way over in Wicker Park. Visited that place while on the "Pizza City" pizza tour. Also tried "The Gage" one night on Michigan Avenue and it was great. The VRBO property is roomy and my son did enjoy using the gym. There is an old school drip coffee pot there for which I was very thankful.

In town for concert.

We booked this location primarily based on proximity to the concert location. I am very glad we did. This was a perfect place for our purposes. We liked the property. Comfortable, clean and well decorated. The hosts were fantastic. We would definitely rent this property again.

Decent Condo but some inaccuracies listing

The condo is large and as pictured. The location is great and public transportation is nearby. However, some inaccuracies in the list were disappointing. The master bed is not a queen as listed but rather a double, just as the bunk beds. Additionally, the listing indicates that you can leave luggage in the unit after 1pm but not check-in until 4p, but when we arrived to leave our luggage at 130p we were told we could not gain access to the unit until 330p. Since the listing indicates up to 7 people I would suggest a dining table to seat more than 4 people.

Great Spot

The place was in a perfect location and the amenities were what was described/expected. Communication with owners was clear and fast. Easy to find and found in/out parking very close to the location. Plenty of good food/grocery options close to unit. The unit was plenty big for the 7 of us and while a little inconvenient we made the 1 bathroom work. We enjoyed our stay.

Great Apartment and Location!

I had been a little hesitant about this property since it only has one bathroom and we were traveling with 4 adults. But it ended up not being an issue. The apartment has a kitchen and some strategically placed mirrors, so others could still get ready while someone was in the shower. There were also plenty of sleep options. I would definitely stay here again.

Great find in the South Loop!

This was the perfect apartment for our family trip to Chicago! Our main attraction was the Shedd, so this location was perfect (about a ten minute walk door to door.) We were also able to walk to tons of great restaurants and a few grocery stores. The bedrooms were large and the apartment was clean and had everything we needed. We would highly recommend!
