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.

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!
You have full access to the home, and building amenities with your key fob. Please always keep it on hand!
We are here to help, but give you space to enjoy :)
The South Loop is such a dynamic mix of attractions and histories that the neighborhood tends to be seen as many different things to many different people. Consider the assorted areas that comprise the South Loop:
Much of its eastern edge is encompassed by the Museum Campus, an impressive collection of cultural treasures that includes the Field Museum, Adler Planetarium and Shedd Aquarium. This campus sits on scenic lakefront parklands that are an extension of Grant Park. With 319 acres of green space and recreational fields, Grant Park is known as "Chicago's front yard" to locals and also plays host to major city events such as Taste of Chicago, Chicago Blues Festival and Lollapalooza.
Jutting out further into Lake Michigan is Northerly Island, a peninsula sought out by nature lovers, while along the southern edge the sports fans know Soldier Field as the stadium for the beloved Chicago Bears football team. Meeting attendees are most familiar with McCormick Place, the largest convention center in the country, which is also in the immediate area.
And yet there are even more facets to the South Loop. History buffs point out the Motor Row District along South Michigan Avenue and nearby Prairie Avenue District, the "Millionaire's Row" that was lined with mansions belonging to Chicago's most wealthy elite during the end of the 19th century.
In the adjacent Printer's Row neighborhood, urban loft condos now fill the commercial spaces in what was formerly the center of the Midwest's publishing industry. Connections to this past are still seen within the venerable, independent book store and annual summer lit fest here. But business professionals and students have brought new life and redevelopment (though the vibe remains mellow), filling the restaurants, music clubs, smaller theaters and museums that have all established themselves in the community.
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

Mediocre
Our stay did not start out well. We got to our room and heater didn't work. I had to text the VRBO listers and they would not call me when I asked them to. They would only text me about the non working heater. They made me feel as if we broke it. They wanted us to check the breaker box, the breaker was fine. My husband went to the front desk people who ran the building and they accomodated us with a heater and had maintance come up right away. Maintenance replaced the unit ASAP (it was a hotel fan unit). After maintenance replaced it the person who rented out the VRBO texted back and said they would send maintenance to fix it. I told them it was already fixed. We did not have a good vibe about the people who rented out the VRBO as they would not have a actuall conversation over the phone to discuss this issue. Also, the front desk people stated that all the apartments were rentals and that we did the right thing by coming to them for assistance. The VRBO renters did not want us to contact the front desk people. That was a red flag for us. The front desk people and maintenance team said it was their job to fix all things broken in the building. The apartment was clean but not as nice as they stated in the add. They tried to make a tired old apartment look updated. The living room furniture was to small and uncomfortable. The building was secure and we felt safe. The area had a nice neighborly vibe. Parking was underground parking under the building and worked out well.

From the moment I booked the property the communication was above and beyond. The hosts were not overbearing, bothersome yet still attentive to our needs. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for comfort, safety and close enough to several eateries and Grant Park. Will definitely be staying here for future family excursions in Chicago.

Good location but old building
Convenient to grocery stores, pretty quiet, but the building is old, AC/heater is loud, windows and appliances are like from 80s, which is not the issue for hosts. I can tell host tried very hard to prepare the place clean.
host provides great communication, easy to check in and out, however It was rude for keeping asking why I am going to Chicago and making the question mandatory! Hotels front desk never required such questions.

The property was perfect for our needs, just 1.2 miles from the McCormick Center where we were attending a trade show. Nice walk with a few nice restaurants for our needs on the way there and back. The 2 bedroom/2 bath was perfect for 2 couples. Nice patio to relax on at night and got to know John the maintenance employee, he was always kind and very helpful. Would definitely utilize this location again. Was pleasantly surprised how quiet the apartment was for such a noisy city.

We enjoyed our stay for 4 days while dropping off my daughter at SAIC. The unit was very clean and comfortable and the owners well-organized. It was right next to Trader Joes and another grocery store, restaurants, and a short walk to the Field museum,. which we thoroughly enjoyed...but recommend planning the entire day for a visit. The parking cost extra and was really tight getting up it with a truck, but super convenient!

Easy to access place with plenty of room in a terrific location. Grant Park with Soldier Field and numerous museums is across the street, Lake Michigan and Navy Pier are nearby, and it’s just an El ride away from the White Sox ballpark. As a bonus there’s a Trader Joe’s and Starbucks around the corner. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms were perfect for the three of us. Hope we get to stay there again sometime.

Great place for seeing Downtown Chicago
My friend and I had a long weekend stay in Chicago to see the sites and sporting events. This place was in a great location for all Downtown Chicago activities (Field Museum, Soldier Field, Hancock Building). It was also a quick Uber/taxi ride to United Center for NHL and NBA games.
The place was equipped with everything we needed to enjoy our stay - comfortable beds, relaxing living room area, kitchen amenities for breakfast, etc.
Would recommend and stay again here when visiting Chicago in the future.
