About this property
Downtown Lake VIEWS, Mich Ave, Museums 2bd/2ba
Feel at Home, Unwind, and Enjoy the amenities you deserve next to Grant Park!
Most homes don’t provide professional service along with “local vibes.” Guests love staying with us because:
✅ Beautiful views of the Park & Lake ✅ Central Location ✅ Parking garage attached to building ($15-30 / night - Operated by LAZ) ✅ FAST WIFI ✅ Comfy KING beds ✅ Rooftop Deck ✅ 1 block from Red, Orange, Green `L` subway ✅ Close proximity to Park, Soldier Field, Museums
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.

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. 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 𝐜𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐤 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!
𝐐: 𝐋𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐃𝐫𝐨𝐩-𝐨𝐟𝐟/𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 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 :)

The South Loop is one of Chicago`s most dynamic neighborhoods, blending world-class attractions, rich history, and vibrant city life.
To the east, you`ll find the Museum Campus, home to the Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, and Adler Planetarium, all set along the scenic lakefront. Nearby is Grant Park—Chicago`s `front yard`—which hosts major events like Lollapalooza, Taste of Chicago, and the Chicago Blues Festival. Also in the area are Northerly Island, Soldier Field, and McCormick Place, the nation`s largest convention center.
The neighborhood is equally rich in history. Motor Row and Prairie Avenue showcase Chicago`s past, including the former `Millionaire`s Row` of grand 19th-century mansions. In nearby Printer`s Row, historic publishing buildings have been transformed into lofts, while independent bookstores, restaurants, theaters, music venues, and museums continue to give the area its unique character.
You are only a 1 block away from the minute walk from Green, Red, and Orange `L` subway stop, which gets you virtually everywhere in the City. You are also a short walk to a number of restaurants and attractions

Guest Verification All guest names and ages must be registered before you are allowed to check in. We may ask guests to confirm other details (travel plans, where they`re coming from) or provide a valid government-issued ID to help ensure safe, compliant stays.
Unresponsive Guest In some cases, if a guest does not respond within a reasonable period, we reserve the right to cancel the reservation. For same-day bookings, this timeframe is up to 2 hours or less. For all other bookings, this timeframe is up to 8 hours. This ensures that we can provide the best experience and availability for guests.
Online Check-In & Rental Agreement Required Before receiving check-in instructions, all primary guests must complete our online check-in form and review/sign our rental agreement. This helps verify guest details and ensures a smooth, secure arrival.
EXTRA GUEST CHARGE The base price covers 4 guests. For more than 4 guests, there is an extra guest fee of $15 per guest for the full number of nights. Example: 1 extra guest for a 5-night stay = $15 × 5 nights = $75.
Refundable Security Deposit: A $300 refundable security deposit is required and will be `held` or `authorized` (not `charged`) by Chicago Hospitality Club on your card. Any property damage or extra charges may be deducted from the deposit. VRBO collects platform payments/charges separately, while Chicago Hospitality Club handles the deposit, so seeing both on your statement is normal. The deposit is automatically released 3-7 days after checkout.
Keys & AirTags: For transparency, some building keys or fobs may have an AirTag attached for loss prevention. The AirTag is only used to locate the key if it is lost and is never used to track guests or their movements. Guests are not required to carry the key at all times, but we recommend keeping the AirTag attached to help avoid replacement charges if the key is misplaced.
Refund Processing Policy In the event of a guest-initiated cancellation, any bank fees or payment processing charges incurred will be the responsibility of the guest and will be deducted from the refund amount.
Security Deposit (Families with Young Children) A security deposit may be required for groups traveling with two or more children under 14 years old, as a precaution against accidental damage and cleaning. The deposit is fully refundable, provided there is no damage to the property after a standard post-checkout inspection.

Apartment was clean. Location was great. I have rented several homes over the years and this owner went above and beyond. Best experience I have ever had. I would not hesitate to rent again.
Location was convenient to public transportation and museums, check in and out was super easy, beds so comfy. Our family of 4 would stay here again- loved having more room than just 1 hotel room!
Everything was great! Check in process, staff at the building were helpful! Location is great to get around! Wish we were there during the summer! Beautiful view of the lake as well!
The property was exactly as described. It’s in a great location close to the museum campus. Bedrooms were spacious with comfortable beds and excellent closet space. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. it was perfect for our trip and we would consider staying again.
We really liked this location. Easy to walk to museums, restaurants, parks, bus stop and subway stop. Easy to get to Eleven City Diner, one of our favorite breakfast spots.
Also enjoyed the view of Lake Michigan from our living room. Very happy with our stay.
Location was perfect, bus stops to everywhere right outside door. Condo was very clean and view was spectacular! Front desk personnel very friendly and helpful! Absolutely loved it!
Host was very clear and responsive to all of our questions. Detailed in the check in/check out procedures. Location was perfect location for our itinerary of the city. The view of the lake and skyline, especially at night was gorgeous. Would use again next trip to Chicago.
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.
Brought my daughter and her boyfriend to Chicago for a few days to celebrate graduating HS. Unit is well located, nicely decorated, and above all, CLEAN! Beds were comfy (even the sofa bed) and all linens and towels were provided.
Getting there from Midway airport was a single train on the CTA Orange Line and a short walk from Roosevelt Station.
Would definitely stay here again - our only regret was that our trip was so short!
The property is clean, quiet, and comfortable, with great views of Lake Michigan! We didn’t use the kitchen for lunch or dinner, but it was nice to have for breakfast, and the provided coffee was a pleasant bonus! The location is an easy walk to the museum campus and the Willis Tower. If we were going any further, Ubers were plentiful. One night we walked to AO Hawaiian Hideout, which was a fun Asian restaurant nearby, check it out if you stay here!
I’m originally from Chicago. I knew the area was nice, but we were genuinely blown away how beautiful the view is from this property. We found ourselves standing in front of the windows, looking outwards for long periods of time. Highly recommend.
Location is everything and this apartment doesn't disappoint. From the awesome view of Navy Pier fireworks to the easy local transit, and unlimited food and entertainment options. You really don't have to go far to enjoy this wonderful city. The apartment is really comfortable and cozy and has everything you need. The hosts were awesome and always available. I will definitely be back. :)
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.
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.
We stayed for a week for spring break. Very easy walking access to Field museum and Shedd Aquarium. The views are amazing. Some tips:1) There is a parking garage connected to the building (you do not have to go outside to access the building from the parking garage once you have your key fob). The garage is operated by LAZ Parking (download the app). Be aware- you cannot buy a pass for the whole week unless you are not planning on leaving the garage- there is a "single in and out policy". I bought a pass for the whole week and it was only valid for less than 24 hrs because I left the garage the next day and couldn't reenter- they did not give me a partial refund.2) You need to hold the key fob on the entry points for about 4 seconds for it to work.3) As of our stay, they did not have pans for the oven...so bring some foil if you want to reheat items in the oven.4) The shower tubs get super slippery when wet, two of our family members fell- so be careful when stepping in!Overall, we had a great stay. Our son is in a wheelchair and everything was very accessible!
Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2025

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.
The space, the location, and the views! We loved watching the sunrise over the lake and park. Communication was excellent with detailed instructions for arrival and departure. This was a last-minute visit for us, and I wish I could have spent more time exploring all that the location and space offered.
Great location next to CTA stations, bus lines and the park. Property is spacious and comfortable but isn’t brand new if that’s your expectation. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is stocked with all your basic needs. Access was easy and the other residents of the building were generally friendly.
Great location to trains with a stop a block away.Trader Joe's and Jewel for groceries across the street and very convenient.Apartment was perfect for family of four and we really enjoyed our four night stay.Easy uber/cab pickups and very walkable to Magnificent Mile and theater district (about 20 minutes north max).Only request would be for more kitchen basics to be stocked - cooking spray, foil, salt, pepper.Planning to book this property again for next year.Thank you.
Great location! Perfect for a family of four ,especially teenagers. We had the best time in Chicago. Apartment is walking distance to Soilder Field, Grant Park, the Bean, lots of great restaurants close. Target and Trader Joe's both really close as well. Would definitely stay here again.
