I spent 10 days at Melissa’s while meeting contacts and looking for apartments to move to Chicago, and it was a great home base. Easy to get to various parts of the city, especially downtown, clean, quiet, very comfortable. The neighborhood is very neighborhoody so there isn’t much action if that’s what your looking for, but using it almost as a remote office as I did made it the perfect spot. Melissa is very nice, gave me my privacy but was very quick to respond when I had any questions. All in all a great stay. (FYI Paddy Mac’s pub nearby might be the greatest pub ever. Definitely go there, hungry and thirsty)
