My family and my in laws and I stayed at Melanie's apartment between Christmas and New Year, and we had a great visit. The apartment is lovely and the location is great. There were even a few additional positive aspects that I was not fully aware of from the description and photos: 1. the apartment is very spacious, and feels even more so due to exceptionally high ceilings, 2. there is a powder room on the first floor (this proved essential for our group of 9), and 3. there is a very convenient laundry room just beyond the doors that lead to the master bedroom. So this was a wonderful base for our exploration of the city, and provided a lot of value, in terms of convenience and allowing the family to spend time together, that could not have been achieved at a hotel. Highly recommended!
