The apartment has all that a family or small group of friends would need for a stay in the city. There's a fitted kitchen complete with coffee machine for those all-important caffeine hits, and a beautifully decorated living room and dining area where you can socialise, chill out or plan your itinerary in the Windy City. If you need snacks, there's a Whole Foods right downstairs, and did we mention that this home is pet friendly? One well-behaved dog or cat is welcome to join you on your travels. Located in one of Chicago’s most sought-after districts, it’s also close to plenty of swanky boutiques and top-notch restaurants, and many of the city’s best-known attractions are walkable, including the Museum of Contemporary Art and Millennium Park (home of Anish Kapoor's Cloud Gate, aka The Bean).
