    I love services like Sonder, where Arrh-BeenBi comfort/value of a kitchen-equipped apartment meets the reliability and formality of working with a company, not a homeowner personally. Property was very clean, pretty spacious for a studio,...

    Such a fantastic stay! So much space and beautiful amenities. We loved the luggage storage option and washing machine after travelling for a while. Located on a quiet street, but close enough to walk to great restaurants and tourist attractions.

Property information

Art-filled galleries. Bustling cafes. Posh boutiques. The Opal is at the heart of River North. This five-story brick building is covered in large windows, mirroring the beautiful skyscrapers around it. Inside, chic decor, en-suite laundry, and a fully equipped kitchen complete your apartment. Step outside, and you’ll be amidst endless dining and entertainment. The cavatelli from Quartino Ristorante is our favorite guilty pleasure. Or, if you’d prefer a home-cooked meal, there’s a Whole Foods Market right down the street. Take your time wandering around the Museum of Contemporary Art or the City Gallery inside a historic water tower. Experience Chicago with a comfortable stay at The Opal.

Neighbourhood information

River North is brimming with art and culture. Once a manufacturing center, it features historic revamped architecture, stylish art galleries, and waterfront dining. Stroll along the iconic River Walk, which offers expansive city views. As night falls, watch one of the largest digital art displays illuminate the MART building. And with renowned restaurants, River North is a must for foodies.
