What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The designers went mad at flea markets, and festoon the walls with mismatched art, and the desk is made up of dresser drawers.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Lincoln Park and the zoo sit directly across Clark Street, with Old Town comedy clubs and brownstone streets steps away.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
