We spent 5 full days at Monica's place, and we loved each and every day. The studio has everything what you need for your vacation. We were amazed how private this place is. You have all huge outdoor back-yard (is one of the best features!) and it's all yours and it's really private! It's so nice to have morning coffee or late evening glass of vine in a such private outdoor settings. And very important what neighbors and all area in general is very quiet and really safe (we walked in area at late times - not once - and always felt very safe and comfortable. Location of the house is really perfect. Beaches, downtown, museums - everything is in 12-15 minutes reach (we had a car). And you have easy parking next to your house (Monica providing complimentary parking permit for your car - it's just an amazing feature). On the other hand, your have possibilities for a few restaurants, coffee places and for one very good grocery store in a walking distance. And don't forget - Monica is an awesome host. If you need privacy - you got it, if your need some local tips - Monica will share it, if you need something - just ask, and response will be very prompt :)
Best regards for Monica and her family (including Charlie - little cute puppy)!
