I highly recommend this place! Very relaxing, spacious and homely. It looked exactly like the pictures, the area is quiet and lovely and the apartment really is in the perfect location - super close to the beach and Elwood village which is full of funky places to eat & drink and shops to wander around (but not so close that you can hear any of it from the apartment!)
Melinda was the perfect host. She gave very clear instructions on how to get there and her attention to detail made me feel very welcome.
Lots of nice touches like a fruit bowl, welcome chocolates, tea, coffee and milk in the fridge. I also found it nice that because it's her own place she has a fully functioning kitchen with loads of equipment for cooking with and is happy for you to use items from her pantry.
I would definitely stay there again.
