Rosemary is quick to respond to you and any questions that may arise. She is just next door. She has a wide range of fruits and vegetables widely grown around and is happy to share. I found myself a couple of times at the grocery store, knowing I didn't need to buy something as it was just in the back, and she has kindly extended her garden to the guests. The women who live here are mostly nurses and really nice to connect with in passing. Downtown Monrovia is within a nice 20-minute walking distance. It is a great place to get away from the loud city but has those comforts with a 5-10 min drive. Honestly, I guess you could even walk to Sprouts and Trader Joe's. Plenty of street parking too. Comfy quarters with everything you might need. I think all the rooms are a little different. I have a closet with hangers, a dresser, a desk, and an outdoor patio. Each room has a special touch of comfort. There is a kitchen that has everything you need and filtered water. You really couldn't ask for more from the host.
