First off: reason for my stay was my (18) year and old friend (17) were going to a concert at Radius. My (20) year old daughter and I came too. (But not to concert) I was looking for safe neighborhood, close public transportation and restaurants. This hit 100%! Loved that there were 2 separate spaces for girls and boys. Condo was BEAUTIFUL. Rooftop was INCREDIBLE. I got up earlier than the teens so I’d take my coffee up there and marvel at the quiet (yes, it wasn’t actually loud) and endless city view.
Ppl commented on the noise. I honestly didn’t notice it. I mean, you’re in the heart of the city, but it wasn’t obnoxious.
Everyone we encountered were so nice. From residents, to ppl on the street to restaurant employees…
We used the ‘L’, and Ubers. When we didn’t have plans, we walked. My daughter and I walked 11 miles in a day.
Parking the car was also a breeze. I used 850 north state street from Patricia’s app. It was significantly less than others and was 1/2 block away. There’s no ‘in and out’ so once your car is there, you won’t see it until you leave.
We had a small ‘snag’ with an air mattress. The listing states that there is one available but it wasn’t in the condo. We didn’t get it until the second night and it was left outside of our door. Wasn’t a big deal at all and we were grateful that it was delivered to us.
We visited the Art Institute of Chicago, the Navy pier, and went to the top of the Willis Tower. Highly recommend all of these things!
Again. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this condo. I was definitely nervous about taking three kids to a big city as I am from a little country town in Minnesota:) But we had a perfect experience here and in Chicago ❤️
