Mixed feelings about this place. The Airbnb is managed by a company called Kasa and located in the AMLI 900 apartments in the south loop. Kasa units comprise the majority of the 13th floor at AMLI. Great location, good amenities, but not ideal for families with young children or any light sleepers.
Pros:
Great location with plenty of nearby dining, grocery stores, Chicago landmarks, and public transport.
AMLI 900 has great amenities including a business center, rooftop lounge, and dog run.
Parking included in the price, and plenty of spaces available.
Zipcars available right in the parking structure.
AMLI staff are top notch and helped at all times.
Cons:
The 13th floor where the units are is entirely Kasa. This is a con because the entire floor is treated as a hotel versus private units in a private building. People are loud, inconsiderate, and disregard building rules frequently.
Every single night, our next door neighbor felt the need to play loud Indian music well into midnight. Instead of trusting me and acting on my complaint, Kasa assured me the unit was not making noise. Funny that the day I complained, the noise stopped almost immediately.
On a different weeknight a loud Spanish family decided to have a party on their balcony past 1am. The day after, a different Indian family decided to have a loud conversation on their balcony from 11pm-2am.
Despite a no smoking rule, people on the 13th floor frequently smoked on their balconies. Rest assured the smoke will penetrate into your unit.
Overall, it’s a decent place if you’re on your own or a couple. If you have young kids or are sensitive to noise, this isn’t the place for you. Noise issues + hotel-like environment + the cost make this one of the worst Airbnb stays I’ve ever had. If you have a family, you should choose a different place.
