Monica was an awesome host! It was so great to have her nearby in case of any emergencies (and also quick to respond!), but it did not feel like it encroached on our privacy at all. Her dogs are also the absolute cutest.
The space is very beautiful and homely, adequately stocked kitchen and bathroom, with the sweetest outdoor patio/balcony set up. This was a great little workcation for my partner, his mom, and I.
