Kitchen & In-Unit Laundry

In-unit laundry is provided via a washer (and noted in the listing as washer & dryer), supported by starter laundry detergent. This setup is oriented toward longer or more self-sufficient stays.
In-Room Comfort & Connectivity
Individually controlled heating and air conditioning are available, though the building’s central HVAC operates seasonally and temperature adjustments may be limited to a set range. For downtime or remote work, the unit offers free Wi‑Fi and flat-screen cable TV. Additional practical amenities include an iron/ironing board, spacious walk-in closets, and an elevator in the building.
Policies, Building Notes & Parking
This is a smoke-free, pet-friendly property. A refundable $500 security deposit is required, along with a government-issued ID, a matching credit card, and a signed short-term rental agreement; some buildings may also require a brief background check, and local residents within two hours cannot book for same-day arrival. Daily housekeeping is not included (available for a fee), early check-in/late check-out may be available for $149 when possible, and building maintenance or intermittent servicing (e.g., water/elevator) may occur with notice when feasible; parking is not provided, but nearby parking can be reserved via SpotHero.
Location & Getting Around
The property is described as being in the downtown Chicago area with dining, shopping, and attractions nearby and easy access to public transportation. Guests are minutes from bus and train stops, and rideshares (Uber/Lyft) are noted as a common way to get around. The surrounding city offers major cultural and architectural sights, including institutions such as the Field Museum, The Art Institute, and the Adler Planetarium.
Best for
This apartment is best for couples, solo travelers, and longer-stay guests who want a brand-new, modern Chicago base with a full kitchen, in-unit laundry, and reliable essentials like Wi‑Fi and cable TV. It also fits travelers who prefer self check-in and independent stays, with 24/7 online support available if needed. Pet owners looking for a smoke-free unit may also find it a practical option.
Travel tips
