Monique’s place was really ideal for our 10 day stay in Los Angeles. We have two sons who live in the city, and we chose her place because it is equidistant between both our sons’ homes.
The apartment is exactly as it looks on the description and as described. It is absolutely immaculate and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was the best stocked kitchen we have seen in an Airbnb rental. The king-size bed was extremely comfortable and there was quite sufficient closet space. Wi-Fi was plentiful with lots of USB outlets throughout the apartment.
Monique was a great host and very easy to deal with and very communicative. She was eager to help us before and during our stay.
We love the Glendale location. We were only a block and a half from great stores and restaurants and easy access to the highways we needed.
There are a few additional points I would share but they had no bearing what’s our other end having any hesitation in giving Monique‘s place a five star rating:
1. I rated the check in process as a three because there was a glitch when we arrived; the keyless entry wasn’t working and we had to wait a while for it to be fixed; but in the end, it was resolved and made no impact on our stay whatsoever.
2. While the description does mention that there is no parking on site and that you may have to park a couple of blocks away, we did find parking to be a bit difficult. We were usually returning from visiting our kids about 10 o’clock at night and often had to drive several blocks away to find parking. In the end, we were always able to and we usually moved the car right in front of the apartment in the morning when people left for work. But people should know that parking is a little challenging in this area, especially if you have a disability or have trouble getting around.
3. The only other point we would make -and it is a very minor one - is that there is no live TV - it only has streaming services available. This really didn’t matter but we like to watch live cable news first thing in the morning when we are eating breakfast as well as some shows at night before retiring. But we did access the streaming services instead and it worked out fine. But if you are used to only live TV and that’s what you are seeking, this may be of concern to you.
All in all, Monique’s place is just wonderful for either a short visit or a slightly extended one like we had. We come to LA often to see our kids and grandchildren, and we will definitely use her place again!!! We highly recommend it!
