The location was perfect and had a great view of the city skyline. Carole and the rest of Magic lofts were great in accommodating us and helping with an easy check in / check out process.

We were a family group with wide ranging ages. Apartment 3East was great for our group. Well-equipped and a very good location. The balcony got a lot of use for relaxing and chatting. We ate out at local restaurants-Vinci, Blue Door Farm Stand and a Mexican restaurant close by. All good. Would highly recommend MF Lofts.

Carole went above and beyond during check-in to make sure we understood everything. The location was ideal and the space is great to entertain groups of 10-14 in size. I would highly recommend staying at the magic factory.

My friends and I were here for a bachelor party. All the previous reviews are on point, this place is awesome. Great amount of space, plenty of room to sleep 10+ people, conveniently located, secure building - it was exactly what we needed. The team operating the rental is very responsive as well. I would stay here again!

I chose this property because it is one of very few that offers enough beds and space for 12 adults. Basil and Carole we’re very open when it came to helping whoever got there first with check in (it wasn’t me) and they were also very clear about the layout and rules. My friends and I gathered for a 3 night run of a concert and had brought a speaker for daytime listening... Basil ensured that if the music was too loud, they would send a message or knock to let us know, instead of finding out afterward, which I appreciated. We were also unsure how many people would be staying and the hosts were kind enough to let us wait to know for sure before paying the extra person fee so that we didn’t overpay for guests if they didn’t show up. Basil also came over and helped us with the oven when we couldn’t figure that out and periodically checked in with a message to ensure our time at their place was going smoothly. I was a little worried about how it would go being in a space where the owners live on site, with 12 adults, but it wasn’t an issue. We didn’t feel too “contained” and felt very cared for with Basil and Carole. Parking on the street was fine, it’s a great neighborhood and I didn’t experience any issues there. The apartment had everything we needed and more. Plenty of towels/pillows/blankets. The space was well decorated and had the best view I’ve ever had whilst staying in Chicago. 10/10 would recommend for any, respectable, large group!

The experience we had was top notch. It was clean, had everything you need to cook your meals, plenty of space for lots of people and having 4 bathrooms was really nice. They were helpful and provided lots of information about the area. Would most certainly stay there again.

A group of 9 HS buddies converged in Chicago from all over the country, explored Chicago from this base camp! Perfect, everybody had their own bed with a wonderful great room to gather both morning and night while planning the days activities! Central location to walk to many places was key. Great hosts!

Highly recommend ... great location, hosts are wonderful, amenities abound, lots of room ...
