Mel has a beautiful, clean place with a gorgeous view. She was extremely thorough and detailed with all of her check in and check out instructions. There were some flaws in the place - one of the bedroom doors does not close, and we could not get the volume to work on the TV (4 techy late 20 year olds couldnt figure it out!). There were many warnings of extra fees that may occur for a variety of rules which was a bit intimidating - however these were fair and created to protect the condo and the building rules. Overall - I would recommend the stay with Mel as you are getting a host that cares about her place and your stay. I would come back if ever in the area :)
