Melissa is super helpful and responsive. She contacted me two days prior to ask me for a 4 digit number to set up two digital locks to enter the unit.
the unit is a very warmly decorated studio with well appointed kitchen and bathroom fixtures. Lighting and decor all showed attention to detail and a professional level design. Everything is clean and appeared new. Light switches are all labeled. My wife and I both work remotely so we made good use of the long bench table. we also made use of the provided umbrella (nice touch) a couple of times.
we booked this unit because of the location which allowed us to walk a few blocks from Division on the blue line from the airport. note that there is no elevator at Division and that this unit is on the second floor with a rather narrow stairs typical in the neighborhood. the location is super convenient because it's just off the Division St, Wicker Park neighborhood. I counted no less than 5 coffee shops within 5 min walk. Highly recommend Colectivo. Foxtrot market is just 2 min walk and you can get simple and healthy meals. Jumping on the Divvy bikeshare we are down in the Fulton Market area in less than 15 min.
the only issue I have is that there is no thermostat to control temp in the unit but since Melissa is so responsive I just asked her to adjust it. we made use of the electric fireplace to warm up the room.
Definitely recommend Melissa's place: great host, good location and a lovely unit that feels like home.
