It's estimated that Chicago has the third-largest number of people with Greek ancestry out of any US city and nowhere is that seen more than in Greektown. In among the restaurants and museums dedicated to Hellenic culture, you'll find this great apartment. Given ample amounts of natural light from the three tall windows, the interior is simple, but there are lots of little design touches that lift it above bland anonymity — we have the industrial-chic lights on the wall, sleek glass coffee table and flourishing house plant in mind when we say this. An added perk is that guests get access to the building's communal roof terrace, which gives views over the city's skyline. All 1,450 feet of The Willis Tower is pretty hard to miss and it's only fourteen minutes' walk away if you want to see it up close. Carry on for another a quarter of an hour and you'll reach the Art Institute of Chicago.
