Mel’s place was a dream! She communicated well and her place was extremely clean! Definitely gave off Costa Rican vibes (which I’ve visited and felt extremely connected to the land) so I appreciate the little details in the decor. Her place is actually bigger than expected and just a couple blocks away from the beach. Very walkable and safe area with a park down the street (we went to the farmers market on Saturday morning and enjoyed a live band), trendy coffee shops and cute eateries. Her place is also dog friendly, Rosie’s beach is just 8 min away, and the dog park is just a block away! My dog felt how warm and welcoming her place was as much as we did, and we will definitely be coming back to visit soon! Pura Vida <3
