Mel's place has some really good points, but we had some problems too. Firstly Mel is one of the nicest hosts we have stayed with and his communication and friendly approach were outstanding. The apartment, whilst small, is adequate and has a lovely balcony with views to the river and the City. It is very close to train station and also tram stop to ride up into the main town area, also has supermarkets and bakeries close by, so many good points. However, the windows arent double glazed, so you get some noise and we had disturbed sleep for 2 nights out of three from a night club or something like that in the area with music going until 5 or 6am. Also, the bed is a sofa bed which we hadnt expected, but was quite comfortable. If it wasnt for the noise, we would have loved the stay. Again, Mel was a lovely host and was very attentive.
