Mel's place is in a great location, the room and bathrooms were clean, and she responded to all our concerns timely. Checkin was excellent even at 11PM. My issue is it is advertised as a home with 2 shared bathrooms. I would classify it as a boarding house as there our 9 "bedrooms" upstairs with only 2 baths. There is a kitchen also. We were in room 9 which faces the subway a block away. The trains run constantly every 15-20 minutes and the noise was extremely loud in the room. I do not know if this level of noise is present in the other 8 rooms. Also note this room although it was classified as a bedroom, there was no closet. We hung our clothes on back of entrance door.
