What a fantastic stay. We so appreciated the hospitality as well as the room to spread out instead of being crammed together in a hotel room for a week. We especially liked having a second bedroom and bathroom to allow more privacy for both the parents and the pre-teen. We took advantage of the laundry room and really enjoyed the comfy couch and beds. The house boasts original fixtures that are charming and unique, and the furnishings fit the era of this delightful Craftsman bungalow. The kitchen is compact but manages to fit in a full arsenal of appliances, dishes, and tools, with tons of storage expanding up to the top of the tall ceiling. The small dishwasher was very handy, too. The only thing we missed was a microwave and a vegetable steamer basket, but the positives of the house dramatically outweighed the lack of a microwave. The hosts provided a fancy espresso machine I have never used, so I didn’t touch it; instructions for use might be handy for future guests. We really enjoyed the resident dog Twinkie, who was friendly and sweet-natured. The location was fantastic and street parking was readily available; Monrovia is beautiful, and we took advantage of the farmer’s market on Friday night. We also appreciated the nearby Von’s and Starbucks, and we even visited the Fantastic Sam’s in the same complex so my husband and son could get much-needed haircuts. We managed to drive to Disneyland (Anaheim) and Universal Studios (Burbank) in about 35 minutes. We found Victory and Faith incredibly quick with responses when we had a question. This was a top-notch experience.
