Great Place!
Our family could not be happier with our stay at the Penthouse. Great location, Jewel next store is super convenient, and the unit/view is awesome. The owners are super attentive and helpful in making sure guests know their way getting in and around the building. I will be seeking out their smaller units in the future as well!

Fantastic place to stay
The view is spectacular. There are plenty of other great features about this condo - unbeatable location, great doormen and women, clean, well appointed common spaces, bedrooms and bathrooms, and a wonderful gas fireplace. We had a terrific time and only wish we could have stayed longer (maybe forever!)

This was a great stay in the middle of downtown Chicago, right by the Redline, which took us all over the city. It was a perfect home base for our week in Chicago! We would have loved some outdoor furniture to sit on the balcony looking over the city, but other than that, it was perfect!

Fabulous Stay in Chicago
The property is in a great location, SUPER clean, and comfortable furnishings. The view is unbeatable with views of the sunrise over the lake and gorgeous city views as well. We found ourselves going out on the balcony multiple times a day to check out the views-although with floor to ceiling windows you can also stay inside and enjoy the. The building has a great amenities and super nice doormen/staff. We really enjoyed the pool since it was 100 degrees! We were able to walk to may locations and buses and trains were very close by. We would definitely stay here again!

Amazing view and accommodations
We had absolutely an amazing time staying at the condo. The view was incredible!. We were in walking distance to great spots. Staff at the apartment were accommodating and the owners were very kind and helpful with check in and out info. Place was spotless when we arrived and beds were comfortable. Condo was stocked and there was a store right down stairs. We will definitely be coming back and staying here for our next trip to Chicago.

As good as advertised
Chose this property because the reviews were outstanding and we were not disappointed. Can’t beat the location and views. We had a small issue with the shower so we texted the owner. He responded within 2 minutes and someone was up there to fix it within 5 minutes. We couldn’t believe how responsive everyone was. It is nice having that kind of peace of mind when on a trip.

The usual treatment
Great stay. The owners are very communicative. We checked in easily with the door staff. We arrived early and the door staff was helpful and allowed us to store our bags and explore the area. The inside matches the pictures. The outside has to been seen day or night to appreciate the pictures. Beds are very comfortable. Kitchen is well appointed. (A grocery store is ten steps away from downstairs entry.) the bathrooms were clean. The washer and drier are very useful. It is a two story unit. But a blessing is that you can avoid dragging bags upstairs possibly damaging you or a wall by taking the elevator one floor up and entering through the upstairs master bedroom. The location for convention center shuttles is very convenient as it is 200’ from the from door. The proximity to entertainment, dining and shopping is excellent. Very safe. We have stayed here for a number of years and look forward to being back next year. Thank you Jeri-Lou and James.

The pictures don’t do this property justice. The views of Chicago are the best in the city. The property is spotless and modern. The location is incredible for shops and restaurants and you’re right on the red line to tour the city. The hosts are wonderful and available for any questions. The best place to stay in Chicago!

Perfect Home Away From Home
The property is exactly as described and photographed, the view is indescribably breathtaking! The owners are wonderful to work with. Check in/out was uncomplicated and straightforward. Parking passes are HIGHLY recommended, this option is not an additional revenue source but a must if you are driving within and around the city; otherwise the public transport city planning did a fantastic job for areas that are a bridge to far to walk. Our penthouse was beautiful but livable and comfortable to come back to after long days from working away from home.

Gathering of old friends
We are a group of six 70+ year old women who have been friends for over 40 years. We stayed at the Grand Plaza 6 years ago and loved it. This is the first time we have vacationed together since Covid, and the Grand Plaza did not disappoint. We loved the location, the views, and all the amenities. Mostly, we loved being together in such a beautiful place.

Best of the Best!
Hands down, one of the best properties I’ve ever rented in the 10 years I’ve used VRBO. The apartment was IMMACULATE. A gorgeous penthouse with a huge wrap-around terrace where we enjoyed our morning coffee with spectacular views of Lake Michigan. The location couldn’t be beat with easy accessibility to the red-line subway and short distances to most major attractions and both Lake Michigan and the Chicago River. The apartment was well-stocked with linens, paper products, soap/shampoos, tea and various sweeteners, foil/cling wrap and even a loaded spice rack! The building has wonderful amenities with the kindest, most helpful staff. The owners could not have been more wonderful and accommodating. Detailed instructions on check-in/check-out as well as how to get to the property were provided and the owners were so accommodating and accessible if we needed any assistance. Would definitely rent again!
