Mona’s place was as described, and I enjoyed my stay.
Highlights: 1) Mona was a responsive, thoughtful, & friendly host (e.g. she even recommended I stay closer to the conference center), 2) like 1 above, the space was well thought out and had a lot of features that made it feel like home (e.g. clean & good condition appliances, dishes, utensils, coffee maker, umbrella for rainy days, bidet to conserve paper, etc.), & 3) great spot to get away from the hustle and bustle.
Watch outs (which Mona shared beforehand): 1) a lot of construction nearby (e.g. noise on week days, the space vibrates with construction work & train (reminds me of olden days), 2) due to construction on the main road it was an adventure every single time I ordered a Lyft or Uber (even when I called them to tell them which route to take… they were always “surprised” so plan extra time buffer).
Overall, Mona & her place were great. I highly recommend. Thanks Mona! 🙏
