I loved staying at Mel and Joel's place. Mel was extremely responsive and helpful. (I didn't get to meet Joel.) He stayed in touch with me through multiple flight delays and helped me with my big bag when I arrived 5 hours late in a rain storm. The place is perfectly clean, comfy, and stylish. Not apparent from the photos is the fact that the bedroom has beautiful views from 2 big windows. The living room is wonderful and as pictured. The rain and chill prevented me from enjoying the outdoor space that connects the 2 living area but it was still nice to take in a bit of the outdoors as I went from one place to the other.
