Brilliant Downtown Chicago 3-Bedroom Condominium
Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
Brilliant Downtown Chicago 3-Bedroom Condominium is a spacious, professionally decorated 3BR/2BA vacation condo in Chicago (listed as Chicago Lawn, but described as downtown), located next to The Godfrey Hotel. It’s designed for groups, with four sleeping areas and modern in-home conveniences. The home is smoke-free and includes exterior security cameras monitoring entry points (no cameras inside).
Layout & Sleeping
The condo sleeps across four bed setups: 2 King beds (in two bedrooms), 1 Queen bed (third bedroom), and a Queen pullout couch with a memory-foam mattress in the living room. Guests also have two full bathrooms and an in-unit washer and dryer for longer stays. Note that the unit is on the 3rd floor and is accessible only by stairs (three flights).
In-Unit Amenities
A fully stocked kitchen anchors the stay, with an oven/stove and microwave, plus everyday essentials like heating, air conditioning, and an ironing board. Entertainment and smart-home touches include cable TV, a smart TV, Amazon Alexa, and a Nest thermostat. The unit also includes a balcony and offers high-speed Wi‑Fi.
Parking
Paid parking is available nearby, and the host offers a $30/day parking credit for stays with an average nightly rate of $300+ (reimbursed after the stay with a receipt) to help cover one car. Nearby garages include 681 N LaSalle Dr (about 400 ft) and 734 N Clark St (about 0.2 miles). SpotHero and Parking Panda are recommended for reserving discounted spaces, with typical daily rates noted as $20–$40.
Location & Nearby Dining/Transit
The condo is positioned for central Chicago exploring, with the Chicago subway station about 216 m away and multiple major rail stations within roughly 1.4–2.1 km (Millennium Station, Ogilvie Transportation Center, Chicago Union Station, and LaSalle Street). Dining is close by, including Wildfire (about 124 m) and AMBAR Restaurant (about 158 m), plus options such as Ema, Havana Grill, Mercadito, RAMEN-SAN, River Roast, and Pizzeria Portofino. Chicago Midway International Airport is about 15.6 km away and Chicago O’Hare International Airport about 24.5 km away.
Best for
This condo is best for families and friend groups who want a central Chicago base with true multi-bedroom space and four separate sleeping areas (2 Kings, 1 Queen, plus a Queen memory-foam pullout). It also suits travelers who value self-catering and longer-stay convenience thanks to the full kitchen and in-unit washer/dryer. It’s less ideal for anyone who wants elevator access, since the unit requires climbing three flights of stairs.
Travel tips
Plan for stairs: the condo is on the 3rd floor with stair-only access (three flights), so pack accordingly. For transit, the Chicago subway station is about 216 m away, and several major train stations are within about 1.4–2.1 km. If driving, consider reserving parking in advance via SpotHero or Parking Panda and keep receipts if you qualify for the $30/day parking credit reimbursement.
What guests say
Reviews consistently highlight the central, convenient location, with guests noting easy access to restaurants, shopping, and popular city areas. The condo is frequently described as spacious, comfortable, and well-decorated, working especially well for larger groups. Common cautions include the third-floor, no-elevator access, which some guests found challenging. A smaller number of guests mention practical drawbacks such as a loud air-conditioning unit and occasional maintenance/stocking issues (e.g., water after heavy rain, limited towels).
