| This is our 4th annual shopping trip to Chicago. Each year we have stayed in this room and had an outstanding time. We are a group of 6 (3 sets of Mom/daughters). The condo is a creat location and provides us plenty of room to sit around and catch up with each other. We would recommend it to anyone. |

| We have visited Chicago annually since moving from there in 1992. We always stayed in hotels on our visits, but from now on we will be staying at 30 E. Huron. The condo is perfect! Great location, clean, roomy, and a beautiful view. Jim and Jeri-Lou are very accomodating and make the rental process a snap. I just hope not too many people learn of this spot; the demand may make it less available! |

| 4809 is the perfect get away and I simply would not recomend any other place to stay when visiting the Chicago area. The view, amenities...the fact is there is absolutely nothing that can be discussed in a negative way when staying with Jim and Jeri-Lou. |

| 4809 was AMAZING!! The views were spectacular and all the sites were walkable. It was a girls weekend and we had a blast. Jeri-Lou would call to make sure all was wonderful! |

Let me start by saying that I have no complaints about this condo. My mom and 4 sisters loved it as well. When we opened the door to a clean and spacious condo we were in heaven. The view is awesome and the location is absolutely perfect. It is easily accessible to everything. We purchased CTA passes and took the el and busses when we didn't walk. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are complete with whatever you may need. The kitchen has anything you need to drink or eat from. We even used the oven to make cinnamon rolls for breakfast and the microwave for popcorn to watch in front of the huge tv. The trash chute is right outside the door. The doormen were kind and helpful. The pool and patio area we did not use, but wish we would have because it looked nice and refreshing. Oh my gosh I could go on but I don't think there is enough time or space here on this website. Jim and Jeri-Lou were so great and helpful. I love Chicago and I am now spoiled. I will never stay in a hotel again. I would happily rent this condo again and would recommend it to anyone. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to email me.

This is the second year in a row for us. The place is
the best. Jim and Jeri are excellent hosts in this world
class city with a world class condo. The location, view
and ambience are perfect. We hope to make it up to
Chicago again and there is no better place to stay. |

| We had never rented from a private party before, but the Friedkins were the best! Extremely professional, organized, and helpful. The condo is beautiful, the beds are really comfortable, and the kitchen is modern and has everything you'll need, but the main attraction is the VIEW! WOW! |

| This was a terrific condo and a great experience in Chicago. The condo had everything and the amenities were the best. The views unmatched on the 48th floor, and the location the absolute best. Once we parked we walked everywhere and saw all the sites without having to catch a cab or drive. The Friedkins were excellent hosts and provided plenty of information before arrival and upon check out. I would recommend this condo to anyone and we plan to return. |

30 Huron #4809 was the perfect setting for our
reunion of six high school friends who had not
seen each other in decades! Beautiful views,
excellent location, lovely decor, very well supplied,
and most importantly, prompt and thorough

rental. Thanks! It could not have been better. |

| We loved the condo and it made our trip to Chicago even more exciting. It was well appointed, fantastic views, plenty of space for us and our three children. The interior design is definitely for the luxury guest and the beds are so comfortable; perfect after a long day at the museums or malls. The best part was the location to everything else on the Mag Mile. We want to come back and stay during the summer so we can take advantage of the olympic size pool. The fitness center was great, as well and very clean. Thanks so much for a wonderful getaway! |

| Members representing our company stayed in two of Jim and Jeri-Lou's condos for a trade show. Not only was this arrangement cheaper than many hotels in the Chicago area, but we were also offered free parking, which is a nice bonus! Staying at 30 E. Huron made the trade show a nice experience and the view was excellent! |

We stayed here October 17 - 21 and had a
wonderful time. We were in Chicago to visit our
son at college, and the condo was the perfect
home base for us and our other two kids. It was
tastefully decorated and clean and definately
preferable to two hotel rooms. We actually stayed
in three of the four nights - no need to venture out!
We took advantage of the Whole Foods every day -
it's two blocks away. Michigan Avenue and great
shopping and restaurants are right around the
corner. Many thanks fo Jeri-Lou and Jim. We'll be
back! |

| We stayed at the condo while exhibiting at a show at McCormick Place. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind after a long day's work. The views were stunning, and the amenities were excellent. The best part was listening to others at the show complain about their hotels - boy were they jealous of us. Hope to return soon, but next time for pleasure:) |

| We had a great time. Our daughter got married Sunday May 27. The day before and Sunday morning it rained but the afternoon turned beatiful with a lot of sunshine. The wedding was wonderful, the view of the lake with boats from the 9th floor of the symphony building added that much to the occasion. |

| We rented this condo with another couple whom we hadn't seen in quite a while so this was the perfect place to relax, drink, eat and catch up. It's also the perfect base from which to explore Chicago because it's in the middle of everything. It is beautifully furnished, very clean and stocked with lots of amenities. I can't think of one negative thing about our experience. |

Here for Memorial Day Weekend 2006. Weather was perfect, no rain. Too much to see and do in 3 days, we'll have to come back. It was great having the entire family together all in one place. We walked everywhere: Beach, Navy Pier for fireworks, Millenium Park. French toast in the condo and magnificent views during breakfast

I just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed our trip to the city and stay in your lovely, tasteful, and comfortable accommodations. It was a perfect fit for us four old ladies. We spent time at the Art Institute, Luma Gallery, shopping, dining, etc. None of us had seen Millenium Park and that was fun. We also enjoyed seeing Menapause Musical at the Apollo Theatre. My son came in from Barrington one day for lunch and he parked in your convenient parking spot and we walked to 110 Bistro,
Thanks so much.

| After spending the past four days in this fabulous condo, this is my new choice for lodging when I'm in Chicago. The owners are great, the view is fabulous and the location is just off Michigan Avenue. Being only a block from a train station, we enjoyed being able to take the El to plays, Wrigley Field, the airports and other other favorite spots in town. The only problem with this unit is that it is so relaxing and the views are so good that you won't want to get out and do Chicago. Suffer through it anyway. :) |

The condo and the view were both beautiful! The location was fantastic! The 50" TV was a hit with our teenage boys. The dining choices that you have within a few blocks are not only numeruos but delicious and affordable.
We had the pleasure of meeting the owners Jim And Jeri-Lou. They are absolutely great people to deal with. When you visit Chicago, strongly consider renting a condo(especially this one)! It is so much better than a hotel room!!! |
