We chose the House of Two Urns more for convenience and parking. We have relatives who live down the street and wanted to stay in close proximity to them. This B&B was an excellent find. We had a king size bed in a room down the street from the main building. Kapra gave excellent directions to the back parking garage... More

I loved my accommodations at the House of Two Urns! Every room in the place is beautifully furnished. The food was delicious and had plenty of variety each day. The best part was meeting Kapra and Miguel, our hosts. They went out of their way to be helpful during my first stay in Chicago. More

Highest recommendations for this fab B&B. It's in a near perfect setting because the neighborhood is super lively and fun but the block where Two Urns sits is quiet and secluded. The neighborhood makes you feel like an instant local. Inside it's stunning, charming, an old fashioned look that just happens to have every modern convenience. The food is great... More

For the Winter of 2012, I stayed for a writing residency at Two Urns and the experience surpassed my expectations. The last time I stayed at a bed and breakfast, it felt more like a chain hotel being run in a house. At Two Urns, however, you feel like you've rented the best apartment chicago can offer, complete with courtesy... More

I recently spent two nights in the small (twin bed only) Walnut room at this bed and breakfast, and had a perfectly fine stay. I was most impressed by how thoughtful everything was - from single gum packs and advil packs in the drawers, to an extra toothbrush, to a kitchen stocked with coffee and tea and all cooking instruments...

I recently returned from a writers' residency sponsored by the house of Two Urns. Those of us in attendance had submitted a brief application stating what our writing plans were for the residency. After being accepted, we were given a stipend that covered breakfast, lunch, a full week CTA pass, and guest pass to a nearby health facility. We were... More

I am glad you were able to join us for one of the writer residencies of the Chicago Art Retreats and were able to accomplish some of your literary goals. Every winter we set aside a few weeks to host writers or visual artists of all disciplines to stay with us while they write, research or renew their creative souls.... More

After reading the online reviews for the House of Two Urns, I was eager to stay in what appeared to be a charming B&B with great food! However, I just tried to reserve three nights' stay with the owner and I was denied access to her establishment because I travel with a service dog. I am blind, and my German... More

As we have two separate buildings, each with 5 or less guestrooms per building and are owner-occupied we are exempt and are not required to provide ADA compliant rooms. We are sorry that she was so excited about staying with us and was not able to do so. We were unable to accommodate her in a private room that would... More

I really hesitate to write my glowing review of the Two Urns, because it will get too busy to book for my next Chicago stay. The room was cozy, comfortable and quiet. The breakfasts were excellent, the kitchen was supplied with all I needed, if I wanted to cook, the wireless connection was convenient, and the unending supply of hospitality... More

We booked rather late on and split our stay between The Ruby Rooms and the Two Urns. The lady who runs the B&B was very friendly and welcoming and had made a real effort to ensure everything one would need has been accommodated for, and it really is everything the bathroom cabinet was very well stocked. Breakfast was very nice... More

First trip to Chicago and the House of Two Urns got us back for a second visit. The whole neighborhood is so much fun and close to everything. the room was wonderful, plenty of room and all the amenities. Breakfast was across the street in a beautiful historic home. Kapra is the ultimate host. Not showy, not pushy. Good honest... More
