Very clean and perfect for our short stay! The building was very quiet and staff was super nice! So many places in walking distance to explore and the free permit parking was a lifesaver!

The owner was very responsive when I had an issue with the key fob (nothing he had control of) and was able to get me taken care of in minutes.

Wonderful Place to Stay
The apartment has everything we needed with clear, detailed information about the apartment and the area. There is a great coffee shop and a small bar in the building lobby. And just 5 short steps from the front door sits a wonderful breakfast and lunch spot called the Breakfast House.I would recommend Aaron’s place to anyone visiting Chicago. The neighborhood is quiet and close to tons of things to eat, see and visit.

Highly, highly recommend staying in this Uptown apartment.
The owner has everything down to a science. Check-In and Parking was super easy, the amenities were a big plus, and everything nearby was either walkable or a short Uber away. Can't recommend enough!

Great Stay
Great location when seeing a show at the Aragon. Lots of helpful information about the apartment and area from the host. The building had a coffee shop, a bar, and a nice breakfast place right next door. The apartment also came equipped with a Goonies coffee mug. What else do you need?

Great base for Chicago getaway
Overall really liked the apartment and the rooftop deck.
Easy access to the train. no need for a car. Close to great variety of great restaurants.
Apartment exactly as shown in images. Very comfortable for two.
AMAZING water pressure.
Only issue was down to 1 working elevator during our time-which meant we were grateful to be on the 5th floor and able to use the stairs.

Great Location, Cool Building
We had a really terrific experience staying at Aaron and Carrie's place! A great location for biking, restaurants, and events. The apt is in a safe area, and the building is very retro - with a nice lounge/entrance living room, in-house bar, and coffee spot for a good latte. The pool (not warm, but very nice) was great and if you like working out- lots of options for cardio. Parking can be a challenge, but I found something every night (eventually). The upstairs roof garden would be wonderful in the summer. Apt is well appointed and cozy, bed is comfortable and I think their shower may be the best I've ever had in my life- amazing!
