Executive Apartment on Lake Michigan with parking

DebraRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This was a beautiful place with an excellent view of Lake Michigan. Both rooms had comfortable beds and setup with everything you need. Kitchen is well stocked, but we mostly ordered Grub Hub, lol. Loved spending time here and great place to hangout and chat with friends. It is right on the water and we really enjoyed watching the waves crash against the barrier. It is on the 2nd floor, but the stairs are not bad at all. Felt very safe and having the parking space is a great perk. Very commutative and checked in with us to make sure everything was fine. Would definitely stay here again!

John’s place was clean and cozy. The kitchen was immaculate and we appreciated the nespresso machine and pods. The location was excellent, many food and drink choices right outside the door. It was amazing to have our own parking spot! There are a lot of stairs but that is expected in the city. I would definitely recommend this spot to my friends.

Brian’s place was great! Had everything I needed for my stay. The location and neighborhood were great too. Seeing that this was my first time somewhere they required street parking, it was tricky for me to get the hang of at first but Brian was very helpful with that. Overall I will be back Chicago again and if this listing is available I will stay here again!

Spacious condo with open floor plan and fireplace

TatianaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
This place was spacious and perfect for our family (two kids and a baby), with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The hosts were fantastic! They encountered an issue with the fridge not working just before our arrival but handled it professionally, providing excellent support until it was fixed. We really appreciated their responsiveness and care. We highly recommend this space for families and large groups. One small suggestion: if you’re a light sleeper or have kids, consider bringing a noise machine, as some sound from the upstairs neighbors can be heard. However, this wasn’t a problem for us and is to be expected when staying in a condo.
