Melissa's place is great if you don't have a car and need to rely on public transportation to get around the city. It's in a prime location. The lake is super close and has a bunch of amenities around: gyms, basketball court, cafes, restaurants, yoga studios, and a grocery store really close by. The apartment itself works great if you're traveling solo (or maybe with one other person) and are looking for something simple and not super pricey. If you are wanting to cook a bunch then the kitchen is lacking a bit but definitely has the essentials including a microwave, small oven, 4 burners, and a kettle. Overall, I recommend Melissa's place.
