Melanie's listing is wonderful—perfectly sized for our family of three. The common areas are large, beautiful, and well appointed. The outdoor sitting area is a definite bonus! Melanie and her friend were so communicative, helpful, and accommodating. We used Melanie's listing as a "staging" area when moving our son into Occidental College—it was perfectly situated and just the size we needed. The area is hilly which lends itself nicely to walking and exercising. It is within walking distance to Whole Foods and a Starbucks. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and centrally located--did I mention that it has a dedicated parking space?! We were so grateful for the washer/dryer and fully-equipped kitchen. We will definitely be back. Thank you!
