I had a wonderful 11 day stay in River North. It's a very nice place - stylishly appointed, super clean and has an amazing view from the 24th floor. The kitchen has all of the things you'll need, including a grill kit for the grills by the pool. The front guards were friendly and helpful.
The location was fantastic. Highlights for me include proximity to good coffee (Blue Bottle and Fairgrounds), a big wine store (Binny's) and a bunch of the best restaurants in Chicago. The area felt generally safe.
The hosts were very friendly and helpful in clarifying details, and responded quickly to all of my inquiries. I had an overall positive experience, and wouldn't hesitate to book this property (or another ENVITAE property) again.
