Matthews home is in a great location, 3 min walk to Melrose and in a very safe neighborhood. I am a single female and I had no problem walking at night.Plenty of bars, clubs and social activities. The home is on the smaller side even for a studio, with no living space just the bed. Prob won’t have any guest over unless you don’t mind them sitting on your bed. The unit does look a lot older than the pictures lead on. Street parking wasn’t an issue until half way into my stay. They have started construction across the street building a home so expect noise and no parking from 7am-4pm six days a week. This is no fault of the owners but note worthy. After construction is done the street is very quiet and parking is a breeze! The home was fully stocked with all essentials for kitchenware and toiletries. The “central AC” is merely a wall unit that blows cold air for the first 30 min than circulates it. I didn’t have plumbing issues like previous guest stated and the water was hot!!! Lol Overall my stay was good, and Matthew was a wonderful host!
