Everything was communicated well! Facilities and rooms were clean and spacious! Views were gorgeous and the location was central to all of downtown Chicago. Two small suggestions: Obtain a smaller couch so as to access the awesome deck easier and, clean up the post stay communication so that it doesn't reference a cleaning deposit when there never was one. Great place!
Loved our stay. The view is fantastic and there’s so much to see and do within walking distance, you don’t need a car. Place was really clean and the beds were sooo comfortable!
Apartment has everything you need and is in a great location. Directions for check in and stay were incredibly detailed and helpful.
Place is clean and doorman staff are very friendly. Would definitely recommend this place to others.
My family recently stayed here for a long weekend trip. The penthouse was lovely, clean, and had all the comforts of home. We loved the proximity to walk to many local attractions as well as access to the train. We would definitely stay here again!
We stayed here with 3 persons, 1 in a wheelchair. Accessibility was very good, apartment contained everything we needed for our visit. Location is great, walkable distance from major attractions. Lots of restaurants and shops in the area.
Condo was very spacious and clean. It was close to everything and walking distance to everything. The view of the city was spectacular!! Would definitely rent again !!
This is the cleanest condo we’ve ever rented! And the BEST equipped kitchen (spices, storage bags, creamer, etc). The location is perfect and what a view! The grocery store on the first floor was such a bonus when traveling with kids. Highly recommend
Nice 53rd floor 2 br, 2ba with view of Marina City. Gym on 9th floor well equipped and well maintained. Building next door to a grocery store, so very convent.
We throughly enjoyed staying in this penthouse on our Chicago trip. Red line around the corner, lots of restaurants and shopping nearby. The apartment was roomy for the 4 of us. It was nice to be able to keep the laundry up. Would definitely stay her again or in the building again. Very accommodating.
The listing was exactly as described. Could not ask for a better location! Pool was amazing on a hot day. Condo was clean, communication with hosts was easy, and check-in and out was seamless.
Such a great location - made it so easy to get around! And the view was spectacular! Everything was exactly as advertised. Hosts were communicative & responsive. We had a great stay. Highly recommend.
This property was great! On the 53rd floor, we had a view of the fireworks on Navy Pier, the iconic Chicago Theater, among other famous landmarks. The directions to parking and entering the facility were very precise, and the condo was very roomy and comfortable. I would stay here again!
We had a great experience! The kids loved the view from the 53rd floor and enjoyed the pool!
The on-site fitness center was great to have and let my wife and I get in our workouts before adventuring!
Sweet location to walk everywhere, amazing view, super clean penthouse, every detail of a home away from home was available. Friendly and helpful doormen, along with super, informative owners who responded quickly to our questions of the area.
I stayed here with my two adult children for St. Patrick's weekend. There was plenty of room for us. The penthouse is in an ideal, safe location to experience Chicago and see the river turn green. There is a convenient grocery store next door for supplies. The views are amazing and the place is well managed with simple instructions for check-in and out.
Most of the reviews mentioned the views, but words don’t do it justice! Penthouse location provides easy walkable access to many activities and restaurants. Unit was very clean and well stocked. Hosts are very accessible. Would definitely stay here again.
This condo is located within walking distance to all the tourist attractions and very close to the red line. The VRBO is clean, well-stocked and very comfortable. The owner’s expectations and instructions were very clear and they even checked in us a couple of times. I definitely recommend this rental and would stay again.
My daughter & I had a wonderful time enjoying the spaciousness & location of this condo.
The hosts were responsive when contacted.
It was very well provisioned & was immaculate when we checked in.
It was walking distance to almost everything we wanted to visit including Millenium Park, The Museum Campus, lots of excellent restaurants. Having a Jewell grocery store next door was an added bonus.
I would stay there again for a return visit to Chicago.
Our stay at The Grand Plaza 53rd Penthouse was just wonderful! The communication with the owners, the property, location and parking all fit our needs perfectly. The property was lovely and spacious and accommodated all five of us very well. Thank you so much for helping to make our graduation trip to Chicago the BEST!
The Penthouse condo is in an ideal location, with unbelievable views, central to all of the best Chicago sights and scenes. Easy access the the CTA station right out the front door of the building, or an easy walk or short Uber ride to all other city spots.
The condo was spotlessly clean and the host, Jeri-Lou was helpful and very responsive. We will definitely book the penthouse condo again!
Wonderful space with beautiful views, and a fantastic location!
The property gave us such easy access to so many things around Chicago. The building itself was very friendly, including the wonderful doorman!
We spent lots of time out and about exploring (and eating), but also enjoyed hanging out on the property for morning breakfast, as well as evening card-playing.
Having a grocery store/liquor store attached to the property was also a huge help!
The property owners gave us great instructions, not only on how to access the building, but also links to helpful sites for our visit.
We love coming to Chicago and will definitely stay here again!
