My sisters and I met this year in Chicago for our annual "sisters' weekend." Wanting a place where we could spread out and feel at home, we decided to book an apartment rather than a hotel or even a hotel suite. China Doll was absolutely the perfect choice. The 2-bedroom apartment was spacious and homey (one of us slept on... more

We were lucky enough to chance upoin China Doll after a horrendous start to our holiday in Illinois. Don't really know where to start - great ambiance, meticulously clean, superbly appointed and ideally located. Jim and Yanan were wonderful (but unobtrusive) hosts, providing help and advice when called upon. Thanks for sharing your wonderful home with us. more

In a residential area with nice streets and houses we found The Coach House of China Doll. Though it is not cheap, we enjoyed having so much space, a washer and dryer, a wonderfull kitchen and a computer with printer. There is a living/dining room, big open kitchen and 2 large bedrooms with each their own bathroom. On the entreelevel... more

The China Doll could not have been a better fit for us. The location was wonderful (such a nice neighborhood!), it was extremely spacious, and the people were so pleasant to work with. Their business is very well run. Accommodations in the condo were much better than staying in a hotel. Would recommend to anyone! more

Excellent customer service. Fantastic location. Incredible view of the city . Beautiful sun rises and cozy accomodations add up to a unique and most enjoyable stay in Chicago aboard the Chi Lin. Loved being right on the water, within steps of the lakefront bike path and close to all the Loop has to offer. A special treat was an evening... more

The boat is very comfortable and has an incredible number of amenities and it was a treat to spend the night right in harbor near Millenium Park with the Chicago skyline. Jim has an excellent variety of breakfast foods for the morning and if you want, tv... more

If you want a true Chicago neighborhood experience then you must stay at China Doll. The neighborhood has everything you need: shops, diners, a grocery store, and the Lincoln Park Zoo. We used the deck grill for an impromptu dinner party for my son and my nephew who live in the Windy City. We met all of their friends and... more

We found China Doll on VRBO.com. Our daughter lives in Chicago and we stay at China Doll whenever we come to visit. We have stayed in both the 1-bedroom and the two bedroom (when our son came with us). Why anyone would stay in a hotel when they can stay here is beyond me. You have a luxurious bedroom, large... more

We stayed for a week during April in Chicago and enjoyed the good location with nice restaurants and bars and the friendly house owner Jim. We can recommend his apartments at any time. Ede and Norbert Cologne Germany more
