Melissa's apartment was my first booking with Airbnb, and both she and her apartment set the bar extremely high. Melissa was more than happy--in fact, I'd say she was eager--to give me tips not only on what to do in Oslo, but also on what I should check out in Stockholm and Amsterdam, future stops on my whirlwind trip through Europe. Aside from being a top-notch guide, Melissa is also a genuinely sweet person, and a lot of fun to hang out with as well.

As for her apartment: SO nice! I don't know much in the way of design terminology, but I'll just say she's done an amazing job with her space--I could have spent all day just admiring what she did with her dining room wall!
