This was our first stay without friends here in the Windy City and honestly, we weren’t familiar with the area whatsoever. We quickly realized how easy to find and incredibly great (really in every way) this place is, as well as the surrounding area, which is well worth exploring in the early morning with a camera in hand.
Very easy to find and impeccably clean, this loft has something we loved from the get go, an open floor plan - we’ve never stayed in a place like this! Plenty of privacy, room to breathe, and great dining near (Bárbaro - a rocks throw across the street and food that takes me back to my travels in rural Mexico), or a nice walk down to Etta, same side of the street towards the Sears Tower (or the company formerly known as Sears).
Great appliances and kitchen equipment to cook a five course, with a view of the skyline from the window bump-outs! Great architectural element. That being said, there are simply too many great places to eat in Chicago and we intend to eat at as many as possible during our trips here. Marathon runners need fuel, and my girl of 30 years is *always* hungry. ;) A fringe benefit of being her husband. If you don’t try the place across the street and Etta, it will be a tragedy 🎭. Seriously, the only reason your shouldn’t stay here and eat at Bárbaro across the street and at Etta at lease once is…hmmm, there isn’t one. It’s that good.
This is the most incredible place (AB+B) my wife and I have stayed to date. Anywhere. I just felt like home. ⚓️
