Ray's Bucktown B&B was amazing! I am bummed that we were only there for one night (will definitely stay there again the next time I am in Chicago). Immediately after booking, Ashley called to talk about my reservation and share information about the property and surrounding area. She was so friendly and welcoming. Because we were planning to arrive late, Ashley let me know she would leave a welcome packet for us and provided me with an access code to the building. We arrived earlier than anticipated and were greeted by Ray. He stopped what he was doing to give me a tour, assist with parking (indoor private garage, luggage, & provide some tips for the area. Again, I was amazed by how welcoming he was. The accommodations were great: clean and comfortable. Since we had to be at the airport early, we were going to miss out on the cooked-to-order breakfast. Ray let me know where to find coffee, yogurt, & pastries. That evening, my boyfriend and I walked around the neighborhood. We felt safe & loved the peacefulness of the area. We found some yummy food & a fun bar (Map Bar) & again wished for more time to explore the area (even looked at changing our flights!). The next morning, we awoke to a delicious smell: BACON! The chef greeted us by name and helped us prepare some coffee and food for the road. I cannot say enough good things about this place. If you're looking for a great place that is reasonably priced, close to O'Hare (about 30 mins) and downtown, look no further!
