Das Haus und die Lage sind einmalig in uptown. Gute Restaurants und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in der Nähe 10min zum Lake Michigan. Für mich die beste Möglichkeit ruhig in einer großen Stadt zu übernachten, Aaron ist ein sehr fürsorglicher Gastgeber...

Host Review Score
Newly restored, sunny and spacious, immaculate, hotel-styled one-bedroom apartment with all new fixtures and appliances. Cozy bedroom with comfortable queen bed, flat screen TV, and large closet. Living room with couch, club chair, large flat screen TV, and drop-leaf table for working. Stocked kitchen with everything you need to cook full meals, a new Smeg fridge, granite counters, and bar-stool seating. A queen-sized Serta air mattress allows up to 4 people to sleep comfortably (1 on the couch). Central heat and air conditioning. Free washer/dryer in unit. Just-restored Art Deco building, called a "unique architectural treasure" by the Chicago Architecture Foundation. Unrivaled, private-club styled amenities. State of the art fitness center. Mosaic-tiled 50-foot pool. Roof-top lounge and deck with 360-degree skyline views, and tons of over-sized double loungers. Garden patio with fire pit, grills and picnic tables. Grand Lobby with cafe and craft cocktail bar, club seating, striking stained-glass skylight, ornate plaster moldings and terrazzo floor.
My wife Carrie and I have lived in Chicago 23 years, the last 18 in Uptown, where we are raising our two children. I enjoy shopping at farmers markets, running on the lake, biking everywhere, beer and food.
Great location, in the heart of Chicago's premier entertainment district, which boasts two major concert venues, a legendary jazz lounge, and a string of bars and clubs. Walk everywhere - bars, restaurants, cafes. Satisfy any taste within a five-minute walk, from the best Thai & Vietnamese in Chicago, New York style pizza by the slice, Japanese, Ethiopian, Korean, Hong Kong style BBQ to authentic tacos al pastor. Walk one block to the Red Line 'L' station, and you’re minutes from a dozen vibrant neighborhoods and attractions, all right off the train, from Wrigley Field (5 minutes), Lakeview, Lincoln Park, Old Town and the Loop (20 minutes), down to Soldier Field, the Museum Campus, Chinatown and U.S. Cellular Field. Walk, jog or rent a Divvy bike and explore the lakefront trail - 1/4 mile East of my apartment - an eighteen-mile stretch of parks and trails that run all the way downtown, past beaches, a golf course, a zoo and lake-front dining.

The fine print

Must-know information for guests at this property

Potential for Noise: Our apartment is located on the 5th floor on a city street, so you may hear some typical urban sounds. Additionally, to keep the space cool during the summer, our AC uses an automatic condensation drain pump. The pump activates as needed to clear water, which produces a rattling or pumping sound, occasionally even when the AC is turned off. It is a completely normal part of the system's operation, but because it is noticeable, we provide earplugs for noise-sensitive guests.

This property does not accommodate bachelor(ette) or similar parties.

Quiet hours are between 22:00:00 and 08:00:00.
