The apartment is very nice. It’s bright, with fresh renovations, and clean. When we were in Chicago, the weather was very rainy, and we spent a lot of time in the apartment. It’s very cozy and comfortable. The panoramic window is a highlight of this apartment. I found everything I needed for cooking in the kitchen. Clean and new dish sponges — a nice little detail that’s very rare in the U.S. Also, on the first floor, you can buy coffee at the café without leaving the building.

Loved the room, very quiet and clean. Plenty of outlets for chargers and laptop. Mini fridge, coffee maker. Great desk area for working, nice livingroom area for relaxing. Breakfast better than most with plenty of options but would like longer hours. 9am is early to end breakfast when on vacation. Beautiful views from breakfast area. Nice view from 4th floor room.

Everything about this was perfect. The cute little apartment was very clean and comfortable. Fully equipped kitchen so we were able to have breakfast in and save a few quid! The location was in a quiet and safe neighbourhood with very simple and affordable access to the city. Probably my favourite stay throughout my travels around the states thus far. The owner was very easy to contact and very helpful in regard to any questions or queries we had or any help we needed while we were there.

Great deal! Excellent location, great room with everything you could ask for, including washing machine and dryer. Absolutely spacious. Very clean. Parking is costly for those coming with a car - the location is so central that there is no need for a car. Highly recommended.
