“Excellent apartment/suite, with all ammenities for an extended or short stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 December 2010

I enjoyed an extended-stay at this lovely place, which is a private suite with one bedroom close to DePaul University’s central campus. Actually, it’s bigger than some of the apartments where I have lived! First off, everything was really clean. It is nicely decorated, with all amenities I could need for my trip. Apart from the bedroom, it has a sitting room (with a fireplace—I loved it!), and bath (with a steam shower, but I cannot say anything about this, as I did not try it). It was really nice having a kitchen where to cook, and I found my fridge full of milk, sodas and other stuff to enjoy breakfast. It also has its own phone, and answering machine. I stayed at the one in the ground floor apartment, and must say darkness was not a problem, but it was winter time, so there was no option to get light anyway. Being so close to the DePaul University’s central campus was really a plus to me! The metro stops (red and brown lines) are not too close but to a walking distance (5 minutes). The innkeeper, Mary, lives upstairs, so you have full privacy. She is a really nice person who is there when I needed her, always tried to accommodate me, but let me be at my own pace. Excellent value for such a suite, in a nice and safe area. I would definitively stay there when coming back to Chicago!

“What a great and pleasant B&B in a great location in Lincoln Park”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2010

Mary, the owner, was very helpful in providing us what we needed. This two bedroom private apartment was very quaint and perfect for what my boyfriend and sister needed in our recent visit to Chicago. The location is great and convienent for train//bus/taxi.

“Nice apartment in Lincoln Park for three or four people”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2009

Great location, easily manageable, great steam shower! On-street parking usually available--just get parking permits from host. Access to washer and dryer--take quarters!! Full kitchen with plenty of amenities to cook meals, but know there is no served breakfast. (Some pastries, cereal, milk, OJ, coffee/tea, jam, butter are all supplied.) No desk/work table (the kitchen table has swing-out round benches on the corners), so that's a slight disadvantage if planning to work. Super value for three or four people.
