Melissa's place was perfect for our stay- just as advertised, plenty of space, nicely decorated and in the heart of downtown. Loved having a soaking tub and a washer/dryer. She had some great suggestions for shopping that we particularly enjoyed. The only negative was some loud talking from somewhere that kept us awake on the first night (not music so we didn't think we could really complain). There is also street noise (sirens, garbage trucks) as you would expect from a downtown location- didn't really bother us.
There is a long stairway to get up to the loft so if you have to carry a lot of stuff in, be prepared. However, the space is so great, it's worth the stairs;-) And Melissa is a good host and quickly responds to any questions/problems. We'll be back!
