Karen was extremely accommodating to our last minute travel plans. She met us in the lobby and showed us around the apartment while giving us a glimpse into her life and how she came to own such a unique apartment and art collection. As you sit in the living room you cannot help but think that you are a witness to a piece of history and that in that very spot people witnessed the Great Depression, Pearl Harbor and other significant events of the 20th century. You cannot beat the location, the price the size and the eclectic collection of art. My only comment is there is a significant amount of peeling paint and plaster that can be distracting or chic depending on your view! Either way, I'd come back and rent again any time I'm in Chicago.
