This studio was perfect for our three day weekend. It's very cozy, centrally located to the gondola, easy/secure parking, and walking distance to some great places for food and beverages.
The studio is so cozy - I absolutely loved the adjustable lighting, fireplace, and general décor. There is a photo montage of some very photogenic pooches, which is pretty cute. The bed is so, so comfortable, something that is usually a problem for me, and the kitchen is the perfect size for any lite cooking. The bathroom, also, is perfectly nice, with a good shower. Even though we always bring blankets for our little 14 lbs pom-chi, Jeff provides a very soft doggie blanket for the furniture, which our Stella cuddled up to immediately. Speaking of pets, the Monache is very pet friendly - the outdoor doggie area is an easy elevator ride down to the designated spot with baggies, benches, and a decent view. We got some great photos of the full moon during Stella's pre-bed constitutional. I would definitely stay here again - highly recommend.
