I was doing a clinical attachment around Lincoln square neighborhood and stayed at Melissa and Carol place for one whole month in July and it was a true blessing that I found this place.
Melissa is an amazing SUPER host ! Communication is excellent and if you need something, just ask and they will accommodate you accordingly as much as they can ! They are very kind , friendly , attentive to msgs and questions but not nosy or intrusive at all to your privacy.
The house is conveneintly located at the 8 mins walk to the 2 CTA train stations , 5 mins walk to the bus stations and about 10 mins walk to the grocery stores and restaurants ! It is located in the very safe and quiet neighborhood.
The space is extremely pristine and well-kept and it is way beyond my expectation ! The space is spacious and cozy enough. The materials they provide at the space for you to use are all in the excellent condition and they are not some cheap stuffs ! Everything is exactly as advertised.
I stayed at their place for a month and I barely heard anything from the upstairs.You get the private entrance to yourself with shortly passing by the laundry room but you would barely see the hosts. it was a summer time with 95 degree outside but hosts always made sure the place was in cozy temperature.
If I visit Chicago again, I will definitely stay at this place again ! I highly recommend anyone to this place 100 % too. Thank you Melissa and Carol for your great hospitality !
