Unresponsive Guest In some cases, if a guest does not respond within a reasonable period, we reserve the right to cancel the reservation. For same-day bookings, this timeframe is up to 2 hours or less. For all other bookings, this timeframe is up to 8 hours. This ensures that we can provide the best experience and availability for all our guests.

Great place!
We really enjoyed our short stay in the South Loop. The listing is close to all kinds of public transportation -- L, buses, etc. It was easy to get to Museum Campus and Michigan Avenue. The heating is a bit tricky to get right (turning on the radiators helped to warm up the chilly main area, but then needed to be turned off at night because it was too hot for sleeping), and the apartment could use some additional lamps or overhead lighting. The loft stairs made me a bit nervous with kids, but they were careful and handled them well. Our kids loved playing Pac-Man and foosball in the main lobby.

Just what we needed!
We were in town for business and this unit worked out perfectly. Comfortably slept four adults in their own beds. Owners of property did a good job communicating. Plenty to do within walking distance. One minor suggestion is that's it's time for a little TLC. With that said I still gave it 5 stars and would recommended this unit! Thanks

Weekend Training
It was easy communicating with the property managers. They were attentive to our needs. Shower backed up and they fixed it quickly. Who ever did repair, left mess in shower which we cleaned up after a long day of work. We suggest having more lighting in space. Kitchen and bathroom walls needed to be painted better, too

Location is great, condo was alright
The location in the neighborhood and on the top floor are great, although there was practically zero view! The unit needs more lighting in the living and dining rooms, and the light was out in the upstairs closet which pretty much meant it was unusable. We needed more blankets, more hand towels and washcloths, more kitchen gear (no ice cream scooper for example!). The seating area was very cramped and the tv is quite small. Some games or cards in the place would be nice. Also the photos in the vrbo listing are mostly photos of a different unit. Overall definitely did the job, but 5 stars it was not when we were there.

Clean and good location
We had a great weekend at the Sonder apartment. It is in walking distance to the Shedd and the field museum as well as many restaurants. You can grab a divvy bike right across the street and bike easily to all of the attractions in Chicago. Apartment was very clean, bed was comfy, and overall it was a very simple stay.
