Melanie’s place was in a great location. It was very safe and quiet and felt local. Only a 2 min walk to the nearest Metro. Melanie greeted me at the door. The building has an elevator. The apartment was very no frills and did not have much decoration at all but it was a good price for the location and I was not in the apartment most of the day. It is a two room, one bedroom with a full comfortable bed and plenty of closet space. The floors are old and very creaky. There is a washing machine located in the bathroom. The kitchen was fully stocked. No TV in the living room fyi. Overall, good stay for the value if you just need a roof over your head in a nice area.
