The neighborhood Mel lives in is beautiful! With huge lovely houses with old bones; tree lined streets; a family neighborhood. The room was exactly like the pictures. I booked this room for my dad because I was moving in for college. While the original plan was to sleep in my apartment, we found it was a little too hot and sticky without an air conditioner and Mel was nice enough to let me crash on the floor, as well as let us park in his driveway that first night to take our bags and my sleeping bag upstairs. And this room has a fantastic air conditioner.
