Overall a cute, clean, roomier place to stay. Location was good for River & Lake sites. The master bed has seen better days. The ceiling fan was not working, and we were there on 94 degree day. Coffee (Keurig) was great! Paper Towels, S & P, shampoo, conditioner, body wash all provided - nice! Streeterville is a good area. Overall pleasant stay!

Lovely apartment in a great location - conveniently located near public transit stops (bus and subway) and two short blocks from the Mag Mile. It made a fantastic home base for us. The floorplan is great - the two bedrooms are well separated and well organized. As a quick side note and aligned with other commenters - the mattresses are definitely on the soft side. That said, we would happily stay here again!

Cozy condo in a great location
The condo was in a great spot on Michigan Avenue and gave us easy access to the museums and shopping. Plenty of space with two rooms and additional beds in the living room for the whole family and all the amenities needed during our stay. The owners were easy to communicate with and made the booking process easy. If you're looking for a great spot in downtown Chicago, definitely consider the Guild #1.

Location great
The location was great! Very spacious unit. Good hot shower with great water pressure. (A big plus for those who care about that.) Towels were nice and fluffy and soft. (Could use more washcloths, only supplied one each guest) King bed in main bedroom was very bouncy and no support. Maybe a better foundation would Help. Other bedroom had much better bed. So 2 stars for beds.
Unit has so much potential! Furniture was very cheap and basic, could use some better sitting chairs to relax! At the end of the day we had no where to prop our feet up. Definitely invest in more lounge chairs for your guests. Building was decent. 5 stars for location.

Great location
So to start out with the positive:
The location was fantastic, right near shopping and great restaurants.
The Cuban food located on the bottom floor of the building was amazing.
It's only a 10 minute walk to the red line.
The beds were large and very comfortable.
Some things I wish I would have known about the property before booking:
The building is older and the floor is really creaky when you walk on them.
There was no batteries in one of the remotes for the TV. We ended up buying some.
The internet is a little slower. So we had trouble streaming videos on our phones and laptops.
The ceiling fan in the room across from the front door doesn't work. There was one box fan that we found in the other rooms closet.
There is only one key fob to get into the building. So if your group spits up you might need to coordinate getting back into the building.
You do have access to the laundry room in the basement of the building which is free, but there is no place to buy laundry detergent there. You will have to purchase it yourself at the store.

Great place in Streeterville
Older building in fantastic location. Property was clean and as advertised. Some deferred maintenance and upgrades need to be addressed to make it 5 star. No ice maker in fridge, bulbs out here and there, broken chain on paddle fan, dead batteries in TV remote. Again, nothing that spoiled our stay but apartment needs a thorough maintenance check up. Fantastic Cuban cafe on ground floor for breakfast and lunch. Park and lakeshore trail very close. Mag Mile shopping and restaurants galore.

Great place to stay in the middle of the city. We usually stay at the Hilton Magnificent Mile, and this ended up being about the same price but much larger space, full kitchen and separate room for our son. The apartment was clean and sufficiently stocked. Communication from the host was prompt and the home instructions were easy to understand and follow. I'd recommend anyone to stay here!
