I stayed at Melissa's place for 10 nights in total (6 nights plus 4 nights after a short trip). First of all, I really appreciate that she accepted my midnight check-in on the first day (It turned out to be much later than planned though...).

Her place is really inspiring, full of design-oriented interiors and decoration. It was a very photogenic space for me! I loved the super warm blanket especially.

Besides, she was so informative and kindly connected me to many interesting sites that I'm interested in (which means great coffee places). It was so nice of her that she invited me to her friends' gathering as well as local musicians' lives, which was priceless experience as a tourist.

I believe we are now friends rather than host-guest relationship and can keep on inspiring each other, hopefully. Tusen takk, Melissa!
