Our family (6 adults) celebrated Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in Chicago at this nice apartment. Check in was seamless and the front desk staff were very congenial. It is an excellent location surrounded by numerous quality restaurants, coffee shops, retail stores, etc. During our stay we walked everywhere except to the Shedd Aquarium on Christmas Eve. The apartment provided us with more than enough space to prepare a fabulous holiday meal and enjoy hours of board games. Kitchen is well stocked with basic staples! Beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms are large by any standard. Parking is directly across the street and is very convenient. Yes, the 24 hour parking fee is expensive, but with the holidays not unexpected. Overall, great place to stay and see Chicago.
