I had an amazing time during my staying at Kasa. It was my first time and i had no idea it would’ve been this great. The apartment was super clean, well decorate and super well located (really close to the downtown area). I was able to enjoy the pool, Gym room with my access card and i felt very secure during the whole time. The team was really friendly and nice, helped me out when needed. I would DEFINITELY book again without any hesitation with them for my next trip. Thank you KASA for making such wonderful experiences for your client.

I’m a Brazilian tourist, and I stayed at the Moxy Chicago for a week during the last week of July. My experience was amazing—simple and laid-back vibe, great location for exploring, felt super safe, and had plenty of good food options. And my stay couldn’t have been better, thanks to Jared, Camila, and Cristal. Top-notch customer service—super helpful, attentive, and full of cool ideas for things to do around the city. They made all the difference... Huge thanks to them!
