Monica was absolutley terrific. The poor thing had her tooth taken out earlier in the afternoon and she still came and completed an amazing end of tenancy clean. The flat wasn't in a good state at all and Monica made it look brand new. I'm very appreciative of her incredibly hard work. I will reccomend Monica to as many people as I can.
