The location close to the university was a huge plus. However, the cleanliness—both inside and outside the property—truly stood out even more. Everything was so neat and homey. It was also great to have extra toiletries available, and having snacks provided was a wonderful touch

We stayed on a stop over on the way to Florida. The house was clean, so cute and easy to get to. The bed was super comfortable and the host left us snacks and beverages which were so nice. Highly recommend this property if you need a place in the Monroe area.

This was our second time to stay at this property and it was as good as the first. It had everything we needed and more. Our granddaughters were thrilled with the snacks! The air hockey table was a big hit. Will definitely use this location again.

We traveled to Monroe for our friend’s wedding and had a great time staying here. The neighborhood was close to everything and quiet. The house itself was very clean and had enough room for all of us. I would recommend staying here if you are visiting!
