We really loved Melissa’s spot. Her home is right beyond the hustle and bustle of the city, you can easily walk that way, but the crowds no longer wander by. Three venerable oaks lend a feeling of quiet and restfulness to the space. We were excited to cook in the kitchen, so thoughtful and functional in its arrangement. My brother and I sat on the porch, gazing out over the city to the mountains beyond as the sun went down. The home is cozy, uncluttered and spacious, yet filled with some very beautiful things that remind you of the cultures beyond our own. I had plenty of room to do yoga, so much room infact that my brother and mom joined in! The beds were giant and very comfy. We felt energized in her home, and would love to return again should we be in the area.
