This is a spectacular apartment in an outstanding location. My family (wife and I, two adult children and their partners) spent 9 days here for Christmas to New Years. The apartment is comfortable and well equipped. The beds are awesome, among the most comfortable any of us have slept on, with comfortable pillows to match. Bed and bath linens are top quality. Ample seating in the living room for the six of, and other spaces for us to spread out, from the dining table and kitchen counter to the loft sitting area.
Kitchen is well equipped, one of the best of the many vacation homes I have rented. Very conducive to cooking, whether breakfast for all or an elaborate meal for dinner. Small and large appliances were all of recent build and worked well. Cutlery, dishes, glassware, cooking utensils, etc., were enough for twice the number of people staying. A good assortment of good quality cookware. Not that we cooked all our meals. This apartment is in the middle of one of Chicago's most trendy restaurant neighborhood, and we sampled more than half a dozen of them during our stay.
The neighborhood is great. We had great meals wherever we went, just about any food you would want, and some you may not have been familiar with. All were COVID attentive, staffs were very friendly and helpful, and in many cases, reservations are needed, possibly days in advance. Chicago comes to the Fulton Market neighborhood. But as busy as the neighborhood got, it was never noisy enough to filter up to our apartment.
Very accessible. Easy to walk to The Loop, Millennium Park, Magnificent Mile, River North, West Loop. So much available in all these places. Pink and Green Lines run a block from the apartment with nearby stations.
A big benefit was having the parking space that comes with the apartment. Likewise the clothes washer and dryer. Other little but appreciated benefits are the supplies of paper products, soaps, etc. for kitchen, bathroom and laundry.
And Seth is the Best host I have dealt with. From my first contact, he replied very quickly and thoroughly. He was helpful, flexible and accommodating (to the extent possible and reasonable, of course). I so appreciate dealing with reasonable people, and Seth was tops. Rules were clear and reasonable. Checkin and checkout information was provided well in advance, and were clear and accurate. Everything is well thought out and executed.
One problem came up, that I feel I need to mention, though it does not diminish my 5 star rating. There was an off-gassing odor in one of the bathrooms that needs to be repaired, and which I am certain will be, trusting Seth's attention to detail. When I told him about it, he was immediately responsive and concerned, but was unable to get a plumber to come over before our stay ended. I assume this will not be a persistent problem, and that Seth will soon report that the problem is resolved.
This is a fabulous, 5-Star apartment. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. One of the best rentals and best host I have ever had.
