Staying at Monika's studio was a great experience! When we arrived the place was very clean and exactly like the pictures show. She even had little granola bars as snacks and water bottles in the fridge. Although we never actually met Monika, she was always quick to respond to our inquiries in the days leading up to our stay and allowed us to check-in early when we asked. Also there was a lovely greeting card on the table and a great little book on the coffee table explaining everything about parking, laundry, and checking out. We had no issues during the stay, therefore had no reason to contact her while in LA. The location was very close to Hollywood Blvd and the neighborhood was nice and quiet. We had no problems finding it with our GPS and the pictures Monika sent helped us to spot it on the street right away. If visiting LA I would highly recommend staying at Monika's studio!
