A short but great stay at Mel's place. It is exactly as depicted in the listing and was very clean and up to date. I can not think of a better location in the twin cities. It was centrally located and within minutes of every event that we attended. We were given a short tour upon our arrival and then left to our own devices, just the way we prefer. Mel was always available if needed but we did not require anything as the space provided for all our needs.
