I stayed two nights at Melanie's place when I was in town to attend a conference. It was a great experience and I definitely recommend her place. The house is situated about 20 minutes from downtown, I used Uber to get around and it was very easy. The neighbourhood is rather residential, some places are around, it's quiet during the night and the ocean is just down the road with great opportunities for walks. The room was just as described, all very neat and tidy and comfortable bed. Melanie is a great host, unfortunately I did not have too much time to talk more to her but she knows lots about the city and is definitely very hospitable and going out of her way to made me feel comfortable. The communication was very smooth and easy. Thanks again, Melanie, hope I can stay with you again on one of my future trips!
