“A little slice of heaven”
An absolute dream... an Aladdin's cave of wonderful art, collections and curios... every service you could hope for and more; an urban hideaway stuffed with bags full of character, convenience and charm. And breakfasts to walk miles for. I just loved it.

This is a quirky place. Things to see everywhere from the owners collections. Clean and comfortable room we stayed in Room with a View. The staff go out of there way to make sure you have everything you need. Food was amazing. Only 15 minute stroll through a safe neighborhood to the train. Highly recommend

“A wonderful place to stay with exceptionally friendly hosts.”
The hosts are very friendly. Breakfast is wonderful and adapted to my non-dairy and meatfree diet. Complimentary fruits, snacks and water all day long. They even provide you with a ventra card so you can easily take the train down town.

“I can't wait for an excuse to stay here again, it was so delightful!”
Breakfast was incredible, location was incredible. Such a neat space, with incredibly kind and helpful staff! The joy of getting to stay in a place with so much character while simultaneously having a way better lodging experience than staying in a Chicago hotel or Air BnB just made it a place I'll return to!

“I really enjoyed my stay thanks to the little touches and genuine kindness”
Incredible staff first and foremost who made my stay welcoming from the beginning. There was community space and yet complete privacy and autonomy. There were tiny touches all around, such as a selection of curated treats up front, bottled water as you needed, and a back porch that offered beautiful mornings with coffee. Enjoyed most the good feelings of walking in and coming to my room. I want to visit Chicago again simply to bring my daughter to this location- thank you all again.
