𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞
Please note: This is a vintage loft, but it has a lot of beautiful character as you can see!
- This home is a loft-style unit with stairs, so extra precautions for your children are necessary.

(Pssst... Quick favor if you're thinking about booking: Please read the entire listing as it likely answers any questions you may have. Thanks!)

To access the building, we send you an email to give you, and your group, access to a simple key system using your phone. You walk up the stairs to the elevators, and take the elevator to the top floor, the 8th floor.

When you exit the elevator, you turn right and then left down the hallway to your home. When you enter the home, it opens to an open, spacious loft. There is a dining area, a kitchen, a living room, a half bathroom,and private patio for those staying on the first level. The private patio gives you a fresh feel and a cool cityscape view.

If you walk up to the 2nd floor, you will find a spacious loft with two full size beds, a huge closet, a full bathroom, and a half bathroom. This is truly a special place, and we look forward to making your stay a 5-star experience!

𝐅𝐀𝐐𝐬

𝐐: 𝐈𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞?
A: Very much so. 24 hours a day.

𝐐: 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆?
A: The home is very easy to get to via public transit. If you decide to drive, we recommend apps like SpotAngel or SpotHero to find free or cheap parking ($10-20 / night).

𝐐: 𝐃𝐨 𝐈 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐬, 𝐚 𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐝𝐫𝐲𝐞𝐫, 𝐨𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐧𝐬?
A: Nope! we provide all these things. We also provide you with a starter pack of toilet papers.

𝐐: 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐈 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐮𝐭?
A: Check in is 4pm and check out is 10am. Early check ins can be difficult if there are guests who checked out same day. We ask for an early check-in, or a late-check out fee, if you request either.

𝐐: 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐈 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐨 𝐚𝐬 𝐈 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞?
A: Yes. And we wouldn't trust any listing with which this isn't the case.

𝐐: 𝐈𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬?
A: Yes, and we take pride in providing a clean home for guests.

𝐐: 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞?
A: We honestly have no idea. With fees included, it only shows the guest how much they pay. This figure should be present after you enter your dates. Note that, pricing varies on a daily basis, and it actually uses some crazy algorithm to adjust it automatically, so I don't actually control this.

𝐐: 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞?
A: Very. Some guests say they're the best they've ever slept on!

𝐆𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬:

Fantastic location!

Not having stayed in a downtown loft before, I did have to really follow the directions provided closely in order to get in the unit. It's a bit complicated at first because you use an app for the key which I've not done before, but figured it out with the help of my teens. I found a parking garage less than a block away through another app on a suggestion from the manager which was very convenient. The location cannot be beat. There are so many great places to eat as well as a jazz club within a block and there was never a reason to move our car until we left the city. We walked to Shedd Aquarium, Navy Pier, and the Art Institute easily. Grant Park is very close as is Millennial and the people watching was terrific in both. I had a few minor issues that I needed to discuss with the property manager, but they were responsive and helpful. The building is older and has a lot of character which I love and the rooftop area was a great place to have pastries and coffee in the morning. I would definitely stay at the property again for the unbeatable location and ability to spread out in the space with my family and avoid cramped hotel rooms. Also, the pizza from ROOTS, around the corner is fantastic!

Great Location

The place is located in an amazing part of town. Problem is the actual space. Not that it's not good, but it needs upgrades in appearance. From the carpets to the linens, they seem very outdated. There was a ceiling shade that was broken. This location is phenomenally located but staying in the location you have to deal with hearing the plumbing all day and night. I literally heard the liquids flowing through the pipes all night long. During a shower the water turn off on it's own for like 10min. At that point i received a message from the owners through VRBO if everything was going well if there was anything I needed or they could help with. I communicated this issue to them and never got a response. I finally got a message only with my checkout proceedures and no response about the plumbing. I think the location is great and if you can look past the small superficial stuff it's a fantastic stay.

Great Location, Disappointing property.

Unfortunately we were unable to get an early check in, not a big problem as this was not guaranteed. Upon entering the apartment the heat was stifling. The air conditioning was not working, but a portable unit was provided. “ We're sorry, we're fixing some issues in the unit: the kitchen sink and faucet have leaks, the upstairs toilet not flushing, AC issue and the shower curtain rod fell out of the wall. Our maintenance team is on it, and we'll keep you updated. Regarding the AC issue, we've provided portable AC and 3 fans to help alleviate any discomfort. Please turn off the thermostats, turn on the portable AC, and set it to high. Sorry for the inconvenience.” After a day/sweaty night of pondering what action to take, we decided that the location was more important. So no further correspondence. Eventually after a couple of days, and cooler temperatures outside the apartment became more comfortable temperature wise. The constantly running A/C did mean that it was difficult to hold a conversation over the noise and the TV needed to be loud. The lighting is not great, with an individual switch for all the living area lights… running from plug sockets. Does not seem normal. Overall there are good and bad points for this accommodation. The big plus is the area it’s in and there was probably not a cheaper (although not cheap) place in this area, with good food places and close proximity to most things. If the little issues/details were all fixed this would be a great place.
