Monica was a great host! She gave me expert directions to her place when my Maps App dipped out of service in the Santa Monica Mountains. When I arrived she gave me tour of the place and made me feel welcome. Each morning she made a delicious breakfast that included fresh fruit and incredible homemade Danish rye bread and oatmeal pancakes. Her home was quiet and peaceful and the bed was comfy! She pointed out the Peter Strauss Ranch just a short drive away, which is a lovely place to take a walk.
