Monica's house was perfect for our group of 6 (2 adults and 4 kids). Spacious open floor plan with plenty of room to spread out, hang out, or have some privacy. The view from the back deck was beautiful every morning, as were the stars at night. We found everything we needed. The grocery store, cafes, and coffee were all within a 5 minute walk. We're so glad we chose Paia over the touristy west coast. It was central to all our activities. Overall, we highly recommend Monica's house and would love to return there in the future.
