We had a great time in Chicago and Melissas apartment provided the perfect place for us. The place looks like in the pictures and has everything you need for a short stay. It was clean and the WiFi worked fine. The CTA blue line is just a few minutes away and it was easy getting around Chicago (get yourself a 7-day CTA pass for $20 and you have unlimited rides - probably cheaper than single rides). The neighborhood is nice, there are plenty of dining options within a short radius and we felt safe.
Communication with the host was always very easy and quick. We did not have a car but street parking was plenty (just mind the street cleaning times).
