This was the second time I did a reservation in El Monte knowing that the location was convenient and familiar. He also has other listings so it’s actually my third time to stay one of his places. We could have enjoyed the place even more for 2 nights if we have gotten back from Sacramento, but decided to stay there because of long drive coming from Tahoe or SF and came back after 2 nights after of the first night reservation. The place was clean and even spacious in the living room. Highly recommend host.
