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!)

Our home is located in a building with 24/7 Security & Front door people near Downtown and South Loop. Once you get your key/fob based on our simple check-in guide, you walk into a nice lobby with a doorman. With key/fob, you may walk right in like you live in the home and go up to your floor.

Once you take the elevator up, you take a left out of the elevator and walk all the way down to the corner unit.

Open the door and you are welcome to beautiful views of Chicago. The home opens up to a kitchen on the right and the living room straight ahead. To the left is bedroom and bathroom one. If you walk further one, you'll see bedroom and bathroom two.

There are also great amenities so make sure to keep your fob with you at all times! There is a rooftop deck, business center, and a lounge for your enjoyment. You may also use the laundry facilities for $2 per wash and $2 per dry. Lastly, there is a gym attached to the building, which you may purchase passes during your stay.

There is a NOISE MONITORING system within the home to track decibel noise level. Please respect our neighbors and do not get too loud outside quiet hours :)

A: Very much so. 24 hours a day.

Q: PARKING?
A: The home is very easy to get to via public transit. There is public parking connected to the building, operated by LAZ. It is $15-30 / night. SPOTANGELS is your best bet to find FREE parking. Before you park please check all available signs as they may have changed and make sure there are no parking restrictions. Please use SPOTHERO for other parking options.

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: If you do not have flights that coincide with our check-in and checkout times, you may use RadicalStorage to store your bags for your optimal time :)

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.

Great location!
Communication with host and easy. The location of the condo is great! Near solder field, the “el”, field museum, the lake. Great views of navy pier and the lake. The building is starting to show its age but the security and the doorman help make up for that. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect spot
Perfect location, especially with a younger child to be able to walk to all the museums. Beautiful view. Surprisingly quiet apartment. Streets are a bit loud if you go to sleep early, which is expected, but if you turn on the a/c it helps drown it out until it quiets down a bit later. Super close to all trains which was ideal for us. We walked down the strip and also to chinatown and it was a beautiful. Apartment people were super friendly. Conveniently close to trader joes across the street if you dont want to eat out all the time like us. Highly recommend this place.

Never again
Host is not helpful AT ALL! Asked for a contact number in case of emergency, refused to give it. Instead said to msg thru vrbo. In emergency a chat option thru messenger is not helpful! The furniture is old and worn out, felt like back in a college dorm. The front desk people are of zero help. There is only 1 key so if you are there with a group it’s hard to strike out on your own or if you do you have to coordinate with the entire party otherwise you may be locked out. Location was great. Walking distance to several museums and parks. Parking was ok, the parking garage was always full but there is another one at SKY55 two blocks away. Cleanliness was so-so. Carpets has several large stains. Some stains on the walls. Bath/showers have old rusty hardware. There was hair in one of the beds though the host reports they change sheets between guests. Overall not great. If you’re going to spend this kind of money go to a hotel where it’s clean, friendly, and available to help you if needed.

Fall Break Chicago Getaway
We were very pleased with this property for our 4-day stay in Chicago. The check-in process was easy as the owners provided us with detailed/step-by-step instructions as to how to enter the secure building, retrieve the keys, and enter the unit. The unit itself was inviting, well stocked and clean. The view is breathtaking from all windows! Communication with the owners during our stay was always prompt and thorough. We had no problems with internet/cable/HVAC or water. The building itself felt safe, was quiet and the elevators were quick. The rooftop lounge/grill area was wonderful with the gas fireplaces on a cool night. We loved the convenience to shopping, restaurants and museums. We walked in the daytime and had short Uber rides at night. Was just a short walk to several grocery and liquor stores for necessities. Would definitely recommend this property for a small group or family and would stay again in the future.

Great Location and View - Old Furniture and Stains
Pros: The location was awsome and the view of Grant park and the lake was really good. On Sunday night, Navy pier had fireworks and we had a perfect view. There was good documentation on the check in process. We felt safe with the fob security of the building. Cons: The apartment was cleaned, but the carpet was old and has significant stains. One of couches is really worn out, you can feel the frame when sitting on it. The towels were clean, but had stains, one of rooms comforter had a brown sticky stain (they did come and change it), the iron did not work, the ironing board was broken. We would only stay here again, if they fixed these items.

Great stay at Grant Park
Fabulous location 10 stories above the SW edge of Grant Park, with a beautiful rounded corner window looking NE. Short walk from train; shopping and restaurants within steps; attentive host and great space with big, comfortable beds. A fabulous base for three nights in Chicago. We walked everywhere once we arrived from Museum Campus station (a 5 min walk), but Metra trains are close by for longer travels. The apartment was just as pictured and described--we couldn't have been happier.

This property is a great location and close to everything central Chicago. THERE IS NO PARKING. The garage next to the building was always full and, even when space was visible, was not open to non-card guests. And, driving around looking for space is not an option. If you do not need a car (and public transportation is close by) this place is ideal.
