Richard's place, located adjacent to downtown Monrovia, is conveniently located with stores (including grocery), restaurants, and hiking within walking distance. His bungalow is very nice, clean, comfortable, and private. Richard himself is very communicative, responsive to any inquiry or problem, and genuinely wants to make your stay as pleasant as possible. I stayed a month there without troubles and left with only good things to say. I would highly recommend Richard's property to anyone staying in Monrovia.
