Had a nice weekend stay with my mom to visit for some local art festivities and it was really pleasant. We had the Blue Line room but weren't really bothered by the train. We walked everywhere and enjoyed having somewhere to come back to and relax. Breakfast wasn't included with our room so I can't report on that portion. Price was definitely worth while.

We stayed at the Wicker Park Inn for Lollapalooza weekend in the Bucktown Apartment and I could not have been more pleased! I have traveled to Chicago frequently and have stayed downtown and Gold Coast many, many times. The price you pay at Wicker Park Inn was phenomenal compared to other places. Me, my fiance, and our FOUR kids had ample amount of living space to make us feel right at home. Three bedrooms, a kitchen, a dining room table that seated all of us, bathroom, and plenty of storage room all for the amount they charge is a steal! If we would have stayed in a hotel, we would have needed 2 rooms, and if anyone has stayed in Chicago, they know, rooms are not that "roomy", cost a ton, and we would have had to eat most meals out. We saved so much money by staying here.... Quiet neighborhood, 2 minute walk to Walgreens, 7 minute walk to Jewel, and 10-15 minute walk to the blue line which leads straight down town! Even when we caved and called a cab, it was a $12 dollar cab ride to Grant Park.... One cool thing.... We had a friend come in to sit with our kids on a Saturday night. Reading the policy, I discovered that we were supposed to report all visitors and made a call to the owners... my call was returned and I was told that it was completely fine, I didn't even need to ask permission, and it was "our place" for the weekend! Awesome. I can't recommend this place any more highly! It is family friendly but also young and single friendly as well :) We hope to book with them again next time we come into town!!

LOVED the location! The bed was super comfortable in the Wicker Park room. Was a little disappointed with breakfast, only because some of the other guests didn't understand the concept of sharing with the other 4-6 guests. We had a strawberry theif in the house while we were there. Maybe have a little more fruit? Definately will stay there again when apartment searching in spring.

We stayed for 5 nights in the Bucktown Apartment. It was a charming & roomy place for 6 people to stay. I would love to come back to this B&B stay. There are a lot of local places to eat, shop & it is only a few miles from the famous Michigan Avenue. The rooms are warmly decorated & the beds are comfy too.

Spent six nights at The Wicker Park Inn and I would thoroughly recommend it. Very convenient for O'Hare Airport and downtown both with the CTA Blue Line and the number 56 bus so it is very easy to travel to The Loop and back. Just purchase your CTA visitor's pass at the airport on arrival. You can enjoy a couple of genuine Chicago neighbourhoods in contrast to the more touristy downtown. Accommodation and breakfast were great. A good place to return to after a hard day's sightseeing.

Stayed for three nights in mid-September in the apartment opposite the main inn. Great place with good parking and really helpful staff. They even brought a baby-bouncer up for our 6-month old to use! Mikky is everything a host should be - informative, attentive and discreet. I have no doubt that next time we're in Chicago, we'll be staying here.

My wife and I recently spent two nights at the Wicker Park Inn and it turned out to be a great find on the internet. An outstanding location and value-near restaurants and shopping and the El (although we had a car and parking was not a problem). The Wicker Park neighborhood is an interesting and enjoyable area for walking. We stayed in the Tuscan room and we particularly liked the private entrance. We would recommend the Inn and we would definitely stay there again.

I've stayed at the Wicker Park Inn three times, and each time I've had a great experience. Laura & Mikky are very nice, helpful and friendly. The rooms are great --comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. And the location couldn't be better -- nestled on a beautiful neighborhood street with gorgeous trees, the inn is blocks away from tons of shops, bars and restaurants.

My boyfriend and I stayed in the Blue Line Room. We loved the stocked kitchen, private entrance, and proximity to restaurants, shopping and bars. Just a short walk to the El, we were able to do all the touristy stuff and then relax in what felt like our own apartment in the city. Don’t let the closeness to the train scare you – we barely heard it! We had a wonderful trip and would definitely stay at Wicker Park again.

We wanted to experience a Chicago neighborhood and happened upon Wicker Park Inn. We loved it! We stayed in the Garden Apartment, which is across the street from the actually Inn. It offered more privacy and had a full kitchen with breakfast items. It was a little apartment which made us feel like we were living in Chicago, if only for two nights. It was within walking distance of a great number of little shops and local restaurants and the Blue Line of the El. The hosts were friendly and helpful and included the little things in the apartment that made it even more comfortable. Overall, we were extremely pleased with our stay and would highly recommend it to others.

The neighborhood is a bit shabby, but there are several nice restaurants with outdoor seating. The Inn itself sits on a pretty, tree-lined street.We stayed in the garden apartment and it was very nice. There wasn't much to the breakfast foods provided, but the coffee was good. The location was great. If we had stayed right in the city we wouldn't have seen nearly as much. The Inn is easily reached by the Blue line. We bought a three day visitor pass and became very comfortable jumping on and off buses and using the CTA rail system. We had a great time and plan to return soon.

This bed and breakfast is perfect if you want to be close to everything and want the comforts of your own home while you travel. The location is great! We used to live in Chicago right in this area so it fit us perfectly. The rooms were all very clean, comfortable and very nicely kept. The breakfast was healthy and tasty with a variety of fresh fruits, muffins, and scones to choose from as well as many other options including coffee and tea. It is close to the train and easily accessible to taxi cabs and a drug store in case you need to pick up some extra toiletries you couldn't pack. The only thing that might be a downside to travelers (not to us, though) is that you can hear the train go by and the room was a little warm at night (but there was a ceiling fan in our room so it kept it comfortable for me more so than my partner). The innkeeper was friendly, helpful and accommodating but not over bearing like other b & b's I've been to.

This was a romantic getaway for us and the Inn provided a great, friendly home from home. The proximity to bohemian shops and a host of excellent cafes and restaurants (especially Francesca's Forno) around Milwaukee Ave, and rapid access to downtown Chicago,made this a wonderful experience. David is charming, more than helpful and a fantastic resource when planning activities.

We stayed in the Wicker Park room at the inn and were pleasantly surprised by the accommodations and found the Innkeeper, Dave, to be helpful and friendly. Wicker Park Inn is just a short pleasant stroll away from Division Street, the location of many shops and restaurants. Wicker Park Inn helped make our visit to Chicago a very enjoyable experience.
