Melissa is a wonderful host!
Our flight was delayed and we arrived over an hour later than predicted, so we were very grateful for her waiting. We were even welcomed by Melissa with a bar of her favourite chocolate (which quickly became our favourite, too, having brought a few bars home with us), which was a lovely touch.
The apartment itself is contemporary and homely; we felt at ease as soon as we walked through the door, enjoying the little quirks and decor we spotted around the rooms. It's extremely clean and airy, with access to a spacious balcony that we, unfortunately, didn't get to use much because of the weather.
If we weren't sure how to operate any of the amenities in the apartment, or wanted to know where any local shops/bars/supermarkets were, Melissa was thoughtful enough to have written an information booklet, which contained a few fun and personal comments that made us smile like, "man, it's so easy!"
There's nothing about our stay that we didn't enjoy, even loving the little work-out we got every time we climbed the stairs to the apartment.
Thanks again, Melissa, we really enjoyed our stay. We felt very well looked after.
