Melanie's apartment is in a great location close to everything. I booked with Melanie last minute and she and her sister were gracious in accommodating us on short notice and with a very late check-in time. The apartment was spacious and comfortable for our family of 5. Stairs to entry are a bit steep, but not so bad and even my 7 and 10 year olds did fine with it. It can get a little noisy in the evening, but I found turning on one of the fans provided by Melanie created enough white noise to drown out the evening revelry. There are tons of bars/restaurants right outside the door, and you are about a 5 minute walk to many of the major museums (as well as a hop-on/hop-off boat tour stop.) Would definitely stay again!
