Melody is a lovely, generous, open, and friendly person, and a master on the piano. I had a very pleasant stay at her house, which is not too far from the city. The bedroom was warm and I slept soundly the whole night(s) through (light sleepers may hear footsteps or doors on weekday mornings - but it wasn't a big deal for me. Good for early risers). I stayed for three nights. Every living environment has its particularities, and that's part of the fun of airbnb - if you want to stay in a hotel, you can do that--and it will be more sterile and you'll pay a bunch more. I really liked staying at Melody's, and love her Chopin CD!
