I stayed at Micheal's house for three months. It was excellent place to live for longer time and it started to fee like home. Michael is just a great host! He is really helpful. Neighborhood was safe. The location was good, metro station, old town of Monrovia and supermarkets were near. Also, only short drive for highways. House is a little bit old but clean and nice to stay. Backyard is nice place to stay on sunny days. Mountains are close, so one big plus was that it is only short drive to go for hiking. I would stay again in this house if I visit again in LA area.
