We loved our time in Monrovia. For the greater Los Angeles area, this apartment is a great value for the price. The furnishings and decor are very good, the bed and linens are so comfortable. The location is perfect- just around the corner from charming old town monrovia. There are many great food and drink options, a beautiful park and pretty mountains. There are a few drawbacks- the walls are very thin, so you can sometimes hear tvs or phone conversations from other apartments or elevator noise. That being said, neighbors are fairly quiet. There is no central ac, but the units in the living room and bedroom were incredibly efficient even on 105 degree days. Hugo is a very responsive and helpful host. The market for quality air bnbs is LA Is $$$$$ and we were so glad to find this place.
