The highlight of this house was the amazing rooftop patio with 360° views! We stayed for the Fourth of July, so we brought a Webber grill and had our own private viewing of the city’s fireworks against the Chicago skyline.
The complimentary bottle of wine was very good, and a lovely way to welcome us to the place. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, and the Kurig coffee helped us to recover from our late nights on the roof. We didn’t need to use any of the items in the minibar, but it was very nice to have a rather large selection of wine, beer, and snacks to choose from had we not already brought our own supplies!
The location was fabulous! We were only a 35 minute walk from downtown, and about a 20 minute walk from the lake. When we didn’t feel like walking, we would order an Uber or a Lyft and it would arrive almost immediately.
The place had central air as well as window AC units downstairs. We left the window units on the first night, and this prevented the central air from turning in to cool off the upstairs bedroom, so it was quite warm. We turned off the window units the second night, and the upstairs was nice and cool all night long!
The only reason I gave this listing four stars is because two of the three “bedrooms” are actually nooks with beds, but they do not have fourth walls or doors, and the ceilings are heavily slanted above the beds, forcing you to crawl around your “room”, a challenge for my large, 6’3” husband. Again, had this been a casual girls weekend with more of a slumber party vibe this wouldn’t have been an issue, but as three married couples we would have appreciated a little more privacy than the nooks provided.
