Steve, the owner, made me feel very comfortable and was great at communicating with me given my late arrivals and early departures. The place was better than advertised and I enjoyed having both private and public access. The surrounding Lincoln Park neighborhood is superb with plenty of great restaurants, parks, and gathering places nearby, but also with excellent access to the L. The pad itself has a great deck and a lovely view of the Chicago skyline, making the overall value proposition terrific. I needed to have a car as I had to drive to NorthBrook, but if you don't absolutely have to have a car don't get one. Parking is tough and some of the rules are tricky for we car oriented Los Angelenos.

All in all a lovely weekend, and Steve's penthouse is a place to which I'd hope to return. Chicago is grand when the weather is nice.....which it was.

Thanks Steve!
