Breakfast was awesome. Great selection. Easy location, close to where we needed to go.

Friendly staff, very helpful, great breakfast.Also loved the steam-room.

I loved the breakfast made right there in the open kitchen. The ingredients were fresh and the toasted English muffin was to die for. The collectibles used for decoration were amazingly fun to examine. The closed garage was comforting as we had stuff in the car that couldn't easily be taken out of the car. The washer/dryer was super handy too.

Like going back to the university hostel of long forgotten days. People could be staying there for a night, but it looks like they stayed there longer. The kitchen is always open, so it is a big plus for hungry and thirsty travelers. Anyone can just grab something there and make yourself at home like you did in your own kitchen, excellent. The location is a real plus and sunset walk nearby give you a good feel of American lives seeing couples young and old taking their dogs for a walk. Somewhat, the building around reminds me of Boston or Montreal.

the homemade breakfast was delicious and the staff was wonderful.

So clean and tidy, and the owners were so nice and accommodating!!

This place is amazing! Pictures and descriptions don't do it justice!

Ray's was amazing! Ashlee took such good care of us and even offered us a free upgrade. Upon arrival we saw all the charm that the BnB had to offer. You'll just have to see it to believe. There are a lot of nick knacks, art and collections in the common space, but our room was a sanctuary. The shower/jacuzzi tub was excellent, and the bathroom had a heated floor. They set up a pack n play for our baby and we all slept very well. In the morning there was coffee ready and amazing breakfast made to order by an excellent cook! We'll definitely stay here again if life brings us back to bucktown.

Ray's was exceptional service. We had never stayed at a BnB before, so we weren't sure what to expect. But the first words they told us were "make yourself at home." It was very comfortable, I felt free to use the social areas, they provided free snacks (this was huge for us, taking 2 toddlers with us), and had coffee and tea available for mornings and evenings. Traveling with children can be a hassle and nerve wracking. You never know how your children are going to respond to new places or people, but Ray's made it comfortable even for the kids. They have a play area perfect for littles to enjoy so we're not confined to a room. They adjusted breakfast portions that were manageable for the kid to eat, and best of all they treated our kids like a friendly relative would. Also, breakfast was absolutely phenomenal. Fantastic location, close to downtown.

I traveled with my daughter and we stayed for one night. The place is awesome with fabulous collection of paintings, beautiful stuff including the antiques. The room was very clean and comfortable. Ashlee is a great host and provided us with superb breakfast. The location is great and with a free parking!!! 10/10
