We stayed two nights at Melissa's and it was fantastic! Although the apartment is quite small, the decor is simple and tasteful and the place is well cared for, with everything one to two people could need for a couple of days. The water pressure in the shower is so much better than in my own home! Location couldn't be better, right off Hawthorne. Communication with Melissa was fantastic. Noise from upstairs is definitely plentiful, there were ear plugs provided but even with them, we had trouble falling asleep and were woken up very early - that being said, I think Melissa does a perfectly fair job being upfront about it, and we were expecting it, so it didn't bother us - if you prefer a very quiet space, perhaps check elsewhere, but for our needs we were perfectly happy with the lovely space! Clean, cute, and super convenient - thanks Melissa!!
