Flemish House of Chicago

I've stayed in the Flemish House of Chicago four times. Each time in a different room in this small, 8 room, Inn. The location is ideal for a trip to the Windy City, just 2 blocks around the corner from the Hancock Building in the Gold Coast. The area is surrounded by tree lined streets and is quiet. The rooms in the Inn have a front living room area, a kitchen stocked with essentials, a private bathroom, and a large bedroom with comfortable beds. They are clean and retro yet stylish. The proprietors are very friendly and accommodating. Unlike any other BB, they stock the kitchen with simple breakfast foods like cereals, muffins, fresh fruit, assorted breads, tea and coffee. The kitchen is fully equipped with pots, pans, flatware, utensils, kettle, dishes, even stemware. You could cook every meal there, but there are countless restaurants within walking distance, so it's your call. Compared to big name hotels with smallish rooms, the cost is very affordable. The only consideration you may have is that there is no elevator; you must hall your luggage up the stairs. If that is not an issue, you can't miss with this wonderful brownstone Inn in Gold Coast, Chicago.

We have stayed at the Flemish House three times and it is our favortie place to stay in Chicago. The location is great and the owners could not be more helpful. Bill and Shirley kolin

Stayed for 3 nights on a personal trip. Location was quiet yet at either end of block was the hustle and bustle of Chicago. Room was plenty big enough for 2 and as clean as could be. The breakfast items provided were great as I am not one to sit down and eat a huge breakfast. I would stay again in a heartbeat.

Comfortable rooms and great value. Very convenient.

Mike and Tom, the owner operators of this B&B, are the most generous and thoughtful of hosts. The suites and apartments are charming and so very comfortable. They have thought of everything and it really is like a home away from home. The location is excellent, between N. State and N. Lakeshore - steps away from the Magnificent Mile. Their prices are very reasonable and the value beats that of a hotel stay any day! The other aspect I really appreciate is the sense of privacy and security. Breakfast is not a B&B-wide event; instead, they stock your suite or apartment refrigerator with delicious goodies from a local bakery as well as fresh oj & milk, and they make sure you have coffees, teas, cereals, and fresh fruit, too. This really is the best place to stay in Chicago and I wouldn't stay anywhere else.

A last minute visit to Chicago for a memorial service was made so pleasant by our stay at Flemish House. We felt cared for and welcome by Mike, who helped us find a show, restaurants and the metro! It was like we were living in Chicago. The neighborhood is great for strolling. Even the cranky parking lot dude was fun!! We will be back.

Owners helped make "surprise" arrangements Owners were gracious, helpful, welcoming non-interfering rooms were spacious, with lovely & comfortable furniture great beds everything works-lights, stove, dishwasher

This was my second stay here and it lived up to the experience we had back in 2005. The Mike and Tom were wonderful and always helpful. The room was large with good storage, a small kitchenette with basic breakfast left each day, the bathroom while small had everything we needed and worked well. There was more than enough storage space and the bed was so comfortable we slept late every day. There is a TV if one wishes to watch it and wi-fi was excellent . The place is just so elegant and the street is quiet but still close to many things. We loved it and hope to stay there on all our trip to Windy City.

Flemish House reflects the care of the owner-hosts. I have personal food issues so though I imagine their breakfasts were great, I passed. The room was in excellent condition with a perfect bathroom and kitchen. Fine neighborhood, super easy to get around without a car, and always a taxi passing by on the street. I intend to book the same room on my next visit.

Close to public transit and easy walk to the Magnificent Mile and Lincoln Park Zoo. Short walk to restaurants and bars. Nice big room with kitchenette and fridge well stocked with breakfast supplies. Would like to have had bathroom refreshed daily and white face clothes, otherwise a great place to stay!

We had a weekend stay at Flemish House and it was ideally located right near Michigan Avenue and all the sights. Lakeshore drive is at end of road and restaurants and shops at the other end. The basement apartment we had was spacious and beautifully designed, with it's own little courtyard. The in room breakfast was generous and healthy. Tom and mike were helpful, welcoming but not intrusive. Just a great place and made our first visit to Chicago a real success. We are planning our return trip.

Un endroit très bien situé, au centre du quartier Gold Coast de Chicago. À distance de marche des endroits à visiter du centre-ville, avec une profusion de restaurants et de boutiques de qualité. La suite comprenait une chambre, cuisinette et salon/salle à dîner très confortables et bien décorés. Les hôtes furent très accueillants et nous ont indiqué des endroits à visiter. Le clou du séjour, une pizza de Pizano's pour emporter et déguster au concert gratuit en plain air de Millenium Park, avec la possibilité d'emporter son propre vin, et 2 000 autres personnes amateurs de Sibelius et Rachmaninov. Un ravissement!!!

This property is so well located, you can easily walk to most attractions (beach, downtown, Navy Pier and even Millenium Park). The area is very pleasant and there are many restaurants just a block or two away. The hosts are nice and helpfull. The room we stayed in was very well renovated and the bed was confortable. It's really worth paying a little more to be so close to the action.

Wonderful place to stay! Great location close to shopping, the beach and restaurants. Looking forward to staying here again on our next trip to Chicago.

We had a great stay! It was wonderful to be in the middle of a beautiful Chicago neighborhood!

Great location. Beautifully appointed rooms. Quiet. Clean. We would stay there again.

High ceilings and insulated walls allowed for plenty of peace and quiet. The apartment was well-furnished and the little details (q-tips supplied in the bathroom, snacks and coffee pre-stocked in the fridge, plenty of pillows on the bed, local area magazines and guides readily supplied, etc.) made a great difference in the quality of the B&B experience. It combines the privacy of a hotel with the luxury of a historic well-maintained house, and the quiet and beauty of a house-lined side-street. Mike the innkeeper is friendly and does a wonderful job of providing a comfortable stay.

This is the only place we stay when in Chicago. Very accomodating and convenient. Also, very reasonable considering Chicago prices. Sure beats the standard hotel.

I was completely blown away by the beauty of the Flemish House. It is an amazing little retreat, but with in walking distance to so much of Chicago. The owners are so warm and welcoming. I would recommend the Flemish House to everyone.

By any measure this is an outstanding B&B. It offers stylish Chicago apartment living without a punishing tariff. We stayed in the downstairs unit complete with elegant woodpaneling, a smart little but fully stocked kitchenette topped off with a dining table comfortable lounge chairs and all mod cons. Do yourself a big favour when next in Chicago and make a booking at the Flemish House. You will not be disappointed.

It s a very fine place in Chicago. I recomand it strongly (? excuse the bad english)
