I can't say enough great things about Melissa and her wonderful place! She was very accommodating in letting us drop our bags off early and also letting us check out late. Our host lives upstairs and although we never met her in person, she was very responsive to questions or requests we had. Her apartment, while a studio felt very spacious and was exactly as it is described. There was a spacious closet with plenty of hangers and drawers for all of our belongings, she had plenty of towels and her queen size bed was comfortable. Furthermore, her place was in a great location - just a couple of short blocks to great dining options, cafes and shops. We highly recommend Melissa's place and the next time we are in Chicago, plan on staying at her place again!
