We enjoyed our weekend stay at MJ's Penthouse. This was our first visit to Monroe, and we were very impressed with our accommodations and the town. The penthouse is very spacious, clean, and has wonderful amenities. Myron was a super host. I look forward to returning again in the future and exploring more of Monroe and the surrounding area.

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful penthouse in downtown Monroe! The location is perfect, with easy access to shopping and dining. The space itself was incredibly clean, updated, and thoughtfully designed—every detail contributed to a comfortable and relaxing experience. The arcade game was a fun bonus and a great touch! We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

An absolutely delightful stay. The Penthouse was so comfortable and those chairs!!! One of our group said...'Better than a hot tub!'We so appreciated all the little touches.

The penthouse is more incredible than the pictures show. We loved all of the special touches - murals, cows, old school video game machine, hanging chairs. We had plenty of shampoo, soap, tp, towels, coffee. I loved hearing the clock tower from the courthouse. I've never been on The Square after businesses are closed; we really enjoyed the quiet ambience. There is not a door to the bedroom, so privacy may be a factor if you are sharing the rental with friends/family. Similarly, the beautiful high ceilings do project sound from the front room to the bedroom. The air conditioning and ceiling fans worked great. We have and will continue recommending friends and family stay here. After dark, check out the blue bench down in front of the building. It is a tribute to my friend's father, and the light shines through, illuminating the tools onto the ground. Thank for such a wonderful stay!
