Nice place with really friendly people. Wifi internet access is free and the room was clean and comfortable and I felt very much at home. Great location close to the subway red line and to lake Michigan. The bathroom was shared but it didn't present a problem during my stay. More

Don't let the cost fool you. All Chicago hotel rates are high. Here you get more. If you like to walk, then this is the place. Both airports, all sightseeing, and downtown are connected by the train. You're in the center of the Halstead community of numerous gay friendly restaurants, stores, and bars. At night, Chicago can be dangerous. Never... More

My wife and I stayed here for several days during a recent trip to Chicago. The rooms were smaller than we anticipated, but it was a reasonable trade off for the location in the city. The B&B is a couple blocks from the nearest metro station, and there are several great bars and restaurants surrounding it. We also enjoyed having... More

I read the other reports on here and I have to admit to having serious reservations about staying in this establishment. However I have to say that I am perplexed as to how this place could receive any negative reports. Joy was welcoming helping with my travel itinerary and going way beyond the call of duty. The area is predominantly... More

As I write this I am in bed CRINGING. I was aware this was going to be bad just because it was way to homegrown for me. Very nice people TRYING to run it but its basically a collapsing house where they try to rent out themed rooms. I had the misfortune of being in a "garden room " which... More

The location is perfect being in boyztown. I used to stay here a lot before the Hawthorne Terrace opened up. Two gay guys used to run it and every time I stayed there it was only gay men that stayed there which I lvoed, especially meeting new friends during breakfast. The room were small but since I wasn't in the... More

I would rate this a "C" Its acceptable but nothing great although it's location is perfect if you are gay, is in heart of gay district on Halstead Street. The rooms don't look as good as what is on their website. Bathroom acceptable but rather basic. The reservation process could be better, just confirm that it has been made. My... More

I came up for a three day weekend and was amazed at everything about this place. First, to receive a call three hours before arrival regarding the weather and an offer to help bring in my bags from my car was impressive but unnecessary. My hostess Joy was delightful and engaging. I got the full run down of the place... More

We were very pleased with the Villa Toscana. We had told them when we would arrive so they were there to greet us. To be honest, that was the last time we saw the staff until it was time to leave. Since we never had a problem, that suited us just fine. There was always fresh coffee in the morning,... More
