We had a brief, wonderful stay at Wendy and Matt's place! They were happy to accommodate us with a last-minute request and their communication was prompt and clear.
The space was great! 12th floor apartment with both lake and limited city views and an added bonus rooftop deck with a grill and patio furniture for shared use; we were bummed we weren't able to stay long enough to utilize it! The beds were very comfortable and had all of the amenities we needed. There was only one towel hanging in each bathroom and we had to search the closets and drawers for both shower and face towels; this, of course, could have been due to our last-minute booking request. For coffee-aholics like us, we really enjoyed having the built-in Miele espresso machine for the morning. We had a little trouble figuring out the Smart TV but perhaps that was user error :) It was ultra-convenient to have a parking spot in the back of the building and it was safe and well-lit when we arrived at 11pm.
The location was prime! We took a nice walk along the lake to Navy Pier in the morning and round trip it was about 3 miles. We were in town for a last-minute appointment at UChicago Medicine and it took only 25 minutes driving in prime rush hour to get there.
Overall, great apartment with great views in a great area. We hope to be back!
