Melanie's place is a quaint space in a safe neighborhood of LA. It was spacious, clean, and complemented by artistic touches. One thing to note if you have a car - the included parking space is located up a very narrow and steep hill and we found it difficult to drive out with our sedan. Luckily, there is plentiful street parking on the block so we opted to do that instead. Overall, my friends and I enjoyed our stay.
