Pros: This is a great rental -- terrific location, convenient, clean, quiet, very well equipped (including good coffee and a slew of condiments), tasteful and comfortable furnishings. We made good use of the many guidebooks and brochures that were provided. The wine was a nice touch. The hostess generously made the loft available to drop off my bag early and responded promptly to any questions we had.

The building is an architectural treasure -- and the unit is exactly as shown in the listing photos. The light in the unit is stunning, the location perfect -- we walked to the Loop, biked to Lincoln Park and along the lake to Millennium Park, food-shopped at the nearby grocery, lunched across the street.

Cons: Anne prefers that no one use the couch to sleep, so if you don't want to share a bed, this is not the place for you. Additionally, be sure to check on the per night price. We were charged $20 more per night than the price shown on the AirBnB site.

That said, I would happily rent the loft again next time I visit Chicago.
