About this place

Please note my condo is for monthly rentals only. On a top floor of one of Chicago's elegant South Shore apartments, sits my spacious condo with a view looking north of Lake Michigan, Jackson Harbor, golf course, Univ of Chgo and the Chicago skyline. Very private, doorman, gallery hallway, top end appliances, ample street parking.

The space
Perfect for the executive heading to McCormick Place (8 minutes up the Drive) or visitors to the University of Chicago, museum campus or Grant Park Festivals. No north side traffic hassles! Featured in the book "Chicago Apartments - A Century of Lakefront Luxury" this 1928 deco period building is a piece of Chicago history. Decorated with much of my travel art collection my guests are welcome to explore. There is a queen sized bed, 2 sizable couches, plenty of bedding and an air mattress that when used still allows for a 'dance floor' of space...could actually sleep 6. Beach chairs and toys are on site, and after every booking, bathrooms and kitchen are Lysol cleaned as though I were visiting next!

Guest access
Lake Shore Drive is right around the corner. Literally, twenty steps from my front door is the #6 Jackson express bus to the University of Chicago and then straight to downtown Chicago and the #26 that is express straight to the city from my corner. There is 1 owner's closet and cabinet and other than that there is dresser and closet space, toiletries, hair dryer, iron, puzzles, books, cable TV, internet, DVD and Bose sound system for use by my guests...and I welcome requests to stock the refrigerator.

Other things to note
Additional cleaning fee if excessive mess. Street parking is readily available at no cost generally within steps of my front door.
