I stayed at Elena’s guesthouse for a week as I needed a last second place to stay. You could tell Elena really cares about the enjoyment of your stay from my interactions with her and from the cleanliness/organization/vibe of the place. You have all your standard hotel amenities + plus some snacks/board games which I found sweet touch. Since it’s a backhouse, it’s not the greatest on natural sunlight but there’s a private patio area where you can let your dog out/smoke/drink coffee etc. Also, this is probably the first Airbnb I’ve stayed at where the bed was super comfy LOL Overall, a pleasant stay and a nice introduction to Monrovia near a bunch of stores and restaurants. Would highly recommend for couples or someone staying with their dog.
