We stayed at the Hansen House while we did the One of a Kind show downtown. It was wonderful for location and relaxation at then end of a busy day of selling. Fran was so great to work with and had so many choices of where to go and eat local. The brown line was just a few blocks away... More

Nice communal spaces, too! *PEOPLE: Fran is a fantastic host, with an INCREDIBLE ability to tell you where everything is.

My wife, daughter and I recently did a road trip to Chicago. We ended up making reservations at the Hansen House. Smartest decision we made. Aside from the great location and price (1/3 of what you'd pay for a hotel in the area), our host, Fran, was very welcoming and helpful. She provided us with ample information regarding great restaurants... More

My son and I stayed here while visiting DePaul University. Fran was a great host (even gave us a CD of Chicago tunes for the road when we left!). She oriented us to the Lincoln Park area, and we spent both days of our visit in the area, walked everywhere, and felt very much at home. The room was great--comfortable... More

Hansen House Mansion is a beautifull historic house. Well located in Old town (near metro), near Chicago Lake and Lincoln Parc, we can also go by walk to the river (and the Loop). And Fran is a charming host! Oh! and the price is fair.

The Hansen House Mansion is what a vacation, an adventure, should be. Not only do you get to walk the streets of Old Town (and visit the nearby Chicago History Museum) but you get to sleep and live in history too. From the stained glass parlor on the first floor, complete with great kitchen accommodations, to the old oak stairway... More

Dealing with Fran was one of the most positive experiences I've had, what an incredibly lovely lady! We booked for my mother's trip from the UK and will DEFINITELY book again in the future!
