I had a wonderful stay at Melanie's place. It's clear that a lot of thought and care has gone into creating a comfortable space and it felt welcoming from the moment I arrived.The apartment is beautifully furnished with a comfy mattress, quality furniture, and stylish decor. The Frame TV with Netflix was a nice touch, and the Wi-Fi was excellent. I usually test internet speeds before work calls and it consistently came in between 300–530 Mbps.One of my favourite parts was the new patio overlooking the pool and backyard. I had my morning coffee outside and ate dinner there several evenings. It was really peaceful and a great place to relax.The property is surrounded by tall trees and is just a short walk to Mill Pond, where there's a beautiful forested trail around the pond.Melanie was awesome. She was friendly, responsive, and attentive whenever needed.I hope to stay here again someday and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, comfortable place to stay.
