We both loved our stay with Melanie. She greeted us warmly with an offer of wine or tea as we chatted. Our room was lovely with a very comfortable mattress, down comforter and pillows and great task lighting. The bathroom is great with wonderful towels and high end shampoo and conditioner as well as a great shower and a beautiful sink and tile. The little touches like a place to put our toiletry kits, a wedged back pillow for reading on the bed, yummy chocolate and sparkling water made for a delightful stay and a great two night's rest. Melanie's apartment is quiet, peaceful and interesting and the breakfast of delicious homemade granola (the best we've ever had), yogurt and gingerbread cookies was just what we needed to start the day. Parking was convenient and we enjoyed the neighborhood. We spent our day walking on the Coastal Trail and eating lunch at the Cliff House. Melanie gave us a great recommendation for dinner and when we return we will definitely stay with Melanie again.
