Melanie was very welcoming and knowledgeable. The house is in the city but minutes to downtown. The place is located in a great district. The bedroom and bathroom were adorable! The only caveat to staying at Melanie's place is the noise from the neighbors above. If you are wanting to sleep in past 7:30AM or so, this may not be the place for you. You can hear them walking around and talking above (loudly). They have children. Other than not being able to sleep in, it was a great first airbnb experience!
