Andrew was by far the best host I’ve had; I’d find it hard to believe there was better so you will be well cared for. And he knows his turf, he grew up here. Tap that knowledge is my advice.
The view is all of that, floor to ceiling glass across an outer corner of the building 21 floors up looking northeast to downtown and east over the lake; it’s a true postcard view of Chicago. Wow!
The location is hard to beat. Five min walk to Roosevelt CTA (red, orange and green lines), 20 min to museum campus. Jewell, Target, Trader Joe’s and some solid eateries are also all in the neighborhood. Stan's Donuts cannot be beat.
If you’re a parent, it’s a *great* experience for your kid(s), hands down. Bring them.
And at the price, enough said.
The *only* thing I think you need to be ready for is that Chicago is noisy. And more than one CTA line runs literally next to the building. If you are not accustomed to this Chicago phenom, bring soft wax earplugs to sleep in until your brain edits the sound out (one or two nights usually does it).
Otherwise book it and enjoy! We plan to come back.
