5 out of 5Lovely in Lincoln Park
June 10, 2013
We highly recommend this historic 1886 mansion for your visit to Chicago! Our extended family of 10 rented the entire mansion for the weekend of our daughter's college graduation, and it was a perfect location within walking distance to Lincoln Park, Moody Church, train and bus stops. The neighborhood shops and cafe's were pleasing and diverse. The home was furnished with antiques and period pieces so that you felt as if you were stepping back in time, yet every modern appliance and the convenience of 3.5 baths made our stay relaxing and quite comfortable. The spacious kitchen and dining room enabled us to prepare meals and dine together in lieu of expensive restaurant dining . Fran assisted us with parking permits for parking in front of the mansion, and additional free street parking locations as close as a block or two away. We all wished for more time to explore the city. Thank you, Fran, for helping us enjoy and create treasured memories in your lovely mansion!

Thank you for making my stay in Chicago a wonderful experience. The whole trip was great, I enjoyed my conference, the train trip and everything else. I was a little tired when I came back, though, and have been busy since, so that is why my answer is delayed. I really enjoyed staying in your beautiful house, and you have been extraordinarily helpful and nice. I loved the guided tour with Ms. Gonzalez, she was so nice and informative. I will gladly recommend Hansen Mansion to anyone who travels to Chicago, and I hope I will be able to come back soon. Thank you also for your gift, I listened to the CD and it made me miss Chicago and made my kids want to go there too.

December 08, 2010
We were welcomed warmly by Fran and Quincy. They provided us with a free nearby parking spot as promised, and were very helpful in finding nearby locations and attraction. The Hansen House Mansion was beautiful and carefully decorated to match the age and architecture. The history in the house itself was amazing. We truly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning.
4.4 out of 5Weekend Getaway w/friend
October 20, 2010
We stayed at Elizabeth's Place (one of the apts at Centennial House). It was very nice -- large living room, dining room, and kitchen with all of the modern amenities. It had three bedrooms and one bathroom. A friend and I met in Chicago for a long weekend. Two other girlfriends were suppose to meet us, but ended up cancelling at the last minute. Fran was most helpful and accommodating. I emailed her frequently before the stay as I had not stayed at an apt before. She was most responsive. Her emails were very detailed regarding which trains each of us needed to be on and where to transfer to get to Lincoln Park. Fran asked us what we were planning on doing. She had several suggestions and explained the train system well. One of her recommendations was a play at the Apollo Theatre (about two blocks away). The Million Dollar Quartet was being shown. Fran told us how to get tickets at half price...THANKS BTW. It was an excellent performance. She told us that she was available should we have any questions during our stay -- whether we were at the apt or out and about the City. She even loaned us a map and showed us how to get to certain destinations. The apt was clean and neat. It's a Victorian theme with antiques and period pieces. The bedrooms were comfortable. It is two blocks from the train and grocery store. Only a 10-minute ride to The Loop (less if going to Magnificent Mile shops). So much to see and do. We definitely are coming back and staying here.

4.0 out of 5Birthday Celebration at Aster House
September 28, 2010
A group of ladies recently stayed at the Aster House of the Centennial Houses of Lincoln Park for a birthday celebration. We enjoyed our stay as the location was excellent, close to Apollo Theater and many restaurants. Fran and Quincy were both very nice and hospitable. Our accomadations were quaint, lovely as you would expect in a bed and breakfast. We didn't experience any dining at the house, so I can't rate that, but the overall value was very great.
4.4 out of 5Another Wonderful Stay for 2nd Time Around!!
August 29, 2010
I can't say enough good things about this B&B (The Hansen Mansion - one of the Centennial Houses). Fran and Quincy (owners) were wonderful , once again! We stayed here 2 years ago and enjoyed it just as much. This was our 2nd trip to Chicago and we (a group of 6 women) loved staying here and had the whole house to enjoy for the weekend! The decor is beautiful decorated with antique furniture and many pieces of history relating to the house. There is a nice kitchen where all 6 of us were able to either cook or eat. Plenty of info provided on the kitchen wall of what to do's, where to eat, entertainment, maps, etc. There is also a beautiful dining room that seats 10+ people. The 2nd story has two bedrooms, and two bathrooms - one of them being in the larger of the two bedrooms. Both decorate with antiques - beds very comfortable too! The third story provides two additional bedrooms and bathroom. There is also a sitting area on the third story, with tv, coffee maker, microwave and additional sink. There is a balcony with two tables and plenty of chairs to have 6-8 people sit outside. The home is wonderfully located near Lincoln Park Zoo and North Ave. Beach (walk there in 10 min.). Grocery store across the street. Plenty of wonderful restaurants - one recommended to us by Fran that was great! I highly recommend staying here!
4.2 out of 5Wonderful days in Chicago
August 12, 2010
It was be mere chance that I ended up at the Hansen House during holidays in Chicago. But I enjoyed every minute of my stay and certainly the place and its owners are responsible for it. Large and nice bedroom, a spacious bathroom (outside of the bedroom), a wonderful kitchen where one can have breakfast and meals - all this made me feel very much welcome to a equally fantastic city. The place stands in a wonderful neighbourhood, close to the beach, to parks, restaurants, buses and trains - and also a special organic market twice a week. The owners are outstandingly pleasant, did everything to make my stay the best possible. No way I'm going to stay in any other place when going back to Chicago.
