Melanie has been a pleasure since she accepted to host my boyfriend and me for 3 days/2 nights. She is very kind, generous, hospitable, and kept me well informed. We were in town for Outside Lands, and Melanie allowed us to check-in early to drop off our luggage. She gives very detail instructions, which I appreciate. Parking was a breeze, and the neighborhood is safe. Her home is warm and welcoming. The private bedroom and bathroom were perfect and comfortable for our needs. Down-comforter and pillows?? Heaven to sleep with! All the basic toiletries are available at your disposal. Melanie even offered to help ourselves to yogurt, fresh fruit, homemade granola, and the Nespresso machine. It was a great experience, and I would love to stay with Melanie again... if she will take me/us. :)
