My 11 year old grandson and I loved the unit and the location. We arrived on train from Philadelphia. We could tour the entire city by walking or short Uber/Lyft ride. We shopped at Jewel Oscoda just below, had a great selection of fresh foods. Had a great time, Views are fantastic!

You pay for what you get- the view was spectacular ✨️. Grocery store downstairs next door to the property. The penthouse had everything I needed, well stocked up, From paper towels, detergent,dishes to food plastics storage bags. You name it, pretty sure it had, if not the owner was just a call away.

Fabulous!!

We had an absolutely fabulous experience!! The view was even better than in the photos… with an amazing sunrise, sunset, view of the city, and view of Lake Michigan. The apartment was immaculate and very well stocked….. from spices to tissues to Q-tips. We did plenty of walking in the city, but if you needed more of a workout, the building was equipped with a gym, a swimming pool, and an outdoor track. It also had a library and complimentary Starbucks. It was within walking distance to all the attractions Chicago is known for, and the street was lined with wonderful restaurants/entertainment. We would definitely stay here again!!

Grand Plaza Penthouse Apartment

Grand Indeed! James and Jeri-Lou’s attention to detail and commitment to providing their guests a positive experience, coupled with the outstanding unit 50 floors up, made a memorable stay. The detailed instructions they provided about picking up “The Bag” and how to use its contents were VERY helpful. The doormen were friendly and knowledgeable. As we entered our romantic retreat, we were greeted by a personalized message on the TV screen welcoming us to this paradise in the sky. Nice touch! The unit was clean and fresh smelling. The furniture and furnishings were as advertised, with the appliances, cookware, dishes, linen, silverware, etc., all consistent with a unit of this caliber. The location, near the Chicago River, made it easy for us to get out and explore and indulge in famous eateries, like Gibson’s Italia and Robert’s Pizza Company. All in all, it was exactly the home we wanted for our stay. Very pleased. No complaints.

This place was great! We enjoyed our stay here which is located in a central location for all attractions. The unit was clean and well stocked. The amenities were excellent. So many restaurants to choose from and there is an excellent grocery store in the building. But the best thing was the view from the balcony!

Beautiful apartment

My 16 yo daughter and I loved staying at this apartment. It was nice and close to restaurants and many of the things we wanted to see and do. Right next door to Jewel Osco which was very convenient. I loved how well stocked the apartment was. Everyone in the building was super nice and friendly. The gym, library and pool were great! Also, the night time view of the city was unmatched. Great communication with the owners. Would absolutely stay here again.

Amazing Views in an Ideal Location

We came to Chicago to attend a conference and, instead of staying at a crowded conference hotel, had a beautiful apartment with breathtaking views of the city. The owners communicated every detail perfectly, the doorman at the building was friendly and gracious, the apartment itself was exceptionally clean, comfortable and perfect for us. The location cant be beat... easy walking distance to everything we needed. Loved it!

The penthouse exceeded our expectations! We were able to check-in quickly upon arrival and felt right at home when we entered the apartment. Everything was clean/tidy, comfortable, and the balcony views were amazing. We enjoyed the ability to use the 9th floor level amenities during our stay and were pleasantly surprised by how close the building is located to the activities we had planned.

Awesome view from a gorgeous penthouse

We really enjoyed being on the 50th floor of this gorgeous penthouse. It was beautifully decorated and well stocked with supplies. The location was perfect. We were able to walk south to the river for an architectural boat cruise and a Frank Lloyd Wright tour starting at the Rookery and north to 360 Chicago for other great views at sunset and night. There were wonderful restaurants and shopping nearby. We highly recommend the Chicago Chop House. We had such a great time that we stayed an extra night! It was so nice of the hosts to be able to accommodate us on such short notice. This was a great place to stay!

Ideal place to see the sights of Chicago

Thank you for sharing your place with us. Our first time in Chicago. We stayed six days and still only got to fraction of the historic and fun places! Everything.... the size, location, views, amenities, cleanliness, and service was perfect. So appreciated. Really enjoyed being so close to the red line. We spent our days traveling around the city seeing the sites and visiting museums. Then arriving home to our quiet apartment and relaxing with that view of the lights of Chicago. I highly recommend this place. My husband and I would love to stay here again when we visit Chicago .

A "WOW" experience!

Upon arrival after dark, we walked into the condo and were stunned at the Chicago view from the 50th floor through floor to ceiling windows/sliding glass doors! It never disappointed. A well stocked kitchen right down to the spices, detailed instructions on operating all equipment, current magazines describing the pulse and happenings of Chicago, well appointed furnishings, lots of closet space. Hotel staff in the lobby couldn't have been more friendly and helpful and the location put almost everything within walking distance ( or a short Uber ride). When we couldn't figure out how to access our streaming service on the TV, the condo owner actually came to the site to walk us through set up. Service like that is not the norm! You can't go wrong with this choice!
