Sum's place set up like a studio apartment with its own entrance and bathroom. It was connected to the main house by a door which can be closed, and it was very clean and recently remodelled. I parked my car in the driveway and the neighborhood was very quiet and safe. Alhambra is close to major highways (I-10 and I-710), Cal State LA, Caltech, and about 20 minutes to DTLA. I would highly recommend this place to traveler with a vehicle and visiting local schools or central LA.
