All three of us loved the House of Two Urns. Wicker Park is a great place to be based in Chicago. And the Chambre des Amis was perfect for the three of us - two bedrooms off a common bathroom. All the rooms are comfortable and homely rather than luxurious but charming in a calm, understated way. The bathroom was large with great towels and amenities such as the whirlpool bath. The photos on their website give an accurate picture of what they're like. Oh and breakfast was excellent. Best of all was having access to a common kitchen and living room which made us feel we were at home rather than in a soul-destroying hotel. The hosts are very pleasant and helpful without any of the false bonhomie that Americans often plaster you with - that perhaps explains some of the negative comments on this site.
I've really begun to hate hotels with their endless beige, the little bottles in the bathroom, the over-priced mini-bar, their vast atriums and corridors, and the bogus staff. If you like all those things then go stay somewhere else; the rest of you will adore this place.
