Melissa’s place is stylish but functional, and updated with character. Beautiful patios and gardens surrounding Melissa’s duplex make the space especially charming. Having Melissa’s spot as a temporary home base while I moved in to the nearby Hyde Park neighbourhood was great. The place is in Bronzeville, a neighbourhood with strong character and hip vibes, also close to both Hyde Park and downtown Chicago (Loop). With Chicago’s excellent transport, this place is a great value for the smart and sophisticated urbanite looking for something uniquely “Chicago.”
