We really enjoyed our 3 night stay. The host is professional, courteous, and easy to work with. Check in was a breeze. The kitchen area is terrific and the whole hotel house is really well kept up - clean and nicely appointed. I will definitely stay here again when I need a place in this part of town.

A pleasant, airy, artistic, comfortable house with enough public spaces as well as comfortable bedrooms. My bathroom had a steam unit in the shower, which was lovely after a long walk. The neighborhood is pretty, friendly, close to shopping and transit but not overly busy. Lots of cheerful people and dogs out walking. The open kitchen area was very convenient when I needed a bite outside of typical meal times. I will definitely stay there again.

What a beautiful home. Erick was a most gracious host. The room and shower was lovely as well as the comfortable bed. We so enjoyed the common areas along with the lovely selection of coffees teas and bakery items. Our only complaint is that the room we were in was extremely hot the first night and unfortunately the ceiling fan made an obnoxious clicking noise. Thankfully it cooled off for our second evening. We will definitely return in the near future. Thank You

Nice property in a nice area of Chicago. Property was clean and comfortable with great shared spaces and a nice continental breakfast offered. Would stay again Only real downside is not much parking and it’s an extra charge to use their parking. Street parking is free but it can get congested, especially later in the night.

Made the reservation and turned up at the door to get in. Locked and no one was present. Called the number on the door twice over the course of 45 minutes and had to leave a message both times. No one returned my calls. Another person turned up too and had the same problem. We both left to find other accommodations. Strange way to run a business.

This B&B is the perfect option for anyone who wants to explore the city by day and have some peace and tranquillity in the evenings. It’s close to the train station to catch the redline many of Chicago’s most popular locations. It’s within walking distance to many options and just a short walk to the beach.
