Everything I needed and more

I needed somewhere to stay overnight close to Monmouth and this was a great option. The studio had everything I needed and was very comfortable. Beautifully decorated and very clean. It felt very private and was easy to access.

Quiet, Clean and Cute

It was a cute studio and comfortable bed. The owner was very quick with communication when I had questions. The only thing I would mention as a drawback is that the bathroom does not have a door, just a curtain. Fine for us but if one needs more privacy it might be nice to have.
