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

Comparing to the room rate,I think it was Very Good experience.Below are the cons: -The carpets and furniture are old. -lighting in the second building across the street is gloomy. -The breakfast is not as I though would be comparing to what the website says; in terms of variety and bounty. -Neighborhood is not the best where you can be....

Stayed for 3 nights at house of 2 urns. Really enjoyed everything about the B+B. Kapra & her Husband are great hosts and very knowledgeable not just on Chicago but on surrounding cities and states which helped us a lot as we were moving around. Superb facilities, nice bed, quiet room in the building across the street, and every amenity... More

Glad you had a good visit in our great city! You are right that the communal breakfast table is a very common arrangement at B&Bs in the states. You happened to be here during what I called "International Week" as we had a very wide range of guests from around the world and midwest: Korea, France, Cameroon, Japan, India, Ireland,... More

This was a wonderful place with lots of character and very homey feeling. I still miss the homemade breakfasts. The rooms are fantastic, and there is a livingroom area, outdoor balcony area, kitchen area so you can cook, super cute victorian vintage style. Close to the subway to get to the city as well, and nice restaurants in a hip... More

Stayed at Two Urns with my sister to visit our younger sister who lives a few blocks away. We stayed in the Chambre de Amis rooms in the annex building. The rooms were comfortable and nicely decorated. The common area was spacious also. The staff and owner were friendly and helpful, and the breakfasts were excellent. Conveniently located near public... More

I recently stayed at the House of Two Urns while attending a 1-day seminar in Chicago. It was centrally located between downtown and the suburbs, and there were food and entertainment places within walking distance. My room was spacious, clean, and felt more like visiting a family member than being in a strange room. I had the large room on... More

It takes only about 10 minutes to get to downtown.Waiting time for the subway is less than a minute. We arrived late at night and Kapra suggested us to hang out the first night on Milwaukee... More

Excellant choice for a comfortable, beautiful, clean, quiet B&B in Chicago. Breakfast is delicious and beautifully presented. Everything served is homemade from banana lavender jam to Kapra's Croque. Easy parking and entrance. Safe neighborhood. Comfortable beds and new nice bath. More

Overall we were pleased with our stay at the House of Two Urns. The price and location were good and we enjoyed looking at the Chicago themed books available. The breakfast was good, too. The hot entree was a bit small but tasty and cereal, toast, and bananas were available if chosen. The bed was comfortable but it was a... More
