Our visit to Melanie's home was short, and sadly, we didn't get to meet her in person. When we arrived at 9:30PM, she had already turned in for the evening, so her roommate let us in. He gave us keys, and showed us around the apartment.

Our room was on the top floor of the apartment and was extremely private. In fact, I could see someone renting it out for an extended period of time and making it his or her own. Because it was an extra room on the top floor, it didn't have many of Melanie's possessions, photos, etc., which made it feel a bit like a hotel - a plus or minus, depending on who you asked.

The bathroom is spacious and completely private, though unfortunately, we didn't get towels until the morning. A simple oversight, I think.

Our biggest grip with the stay was the bed. It was very hard, which made it difficult for us to sleep. Nothing that a pillow top mattress cover couldn't fix though!

Again, I can see this working out well for someone that want's a private experience, as it's just like living in your own apartment!
