Melanie is a very responsive host. She regularly checks in to make sure your needs are being met and she generously provides and replenishes water and snacks. The place was a bit small for 4 of us but that feeling was impacted by having a 2 year old who needed to be back for naps. If you use the place as a launching pad for day trips, it would work just fine. Everything you need is provided and if you don't find it, Melanie will be quick to respond. University Ave can be a bit noisy in the morning but you can download white noise apps for your phone to remedy that. Overall, a great place to stay.
