Staying at Moniky's studio was a great experience.
Moniky has a property manger called Monica, who is a local and is exceedingly helpful and friendly. It is Monica we dealt with exclusively.
Don't be put off by the strict rules Moniky has in the agreement, because Monica is very friendly and conscientious, and honest.

The location was fantastic, around 3 minutes to the beach and around 5 minutes to the metro. Although there is no amazing view or great sunlight (exactly as depicted in the pictures), the benefit of this is the lack of street noise. We were in a very bustling and convenient location, yet we never heard the sounds from the street outside (as the window faces the rear of the building).

The big drawcard of this studio is the location and the great suggestions provided by Monica, however it was also exceedingly clean when we arrived.

The pictures accurately reflect the compact size of the studio, and it was certainly enough for a couple.

Finally, we had a last minute change of plans to check out early (8:30 am instead of 10:00 am), and we contacted Monica the night before. Monica responded promptly and agreed to the change with no dramas at all.

Highly recommended studio, and highly recommended area.
