Couldn't ask for a better location- steps from Garvey Avenue and an easy walk to the cosmopolitan delights of Atlantic Times Square, there's really no need to take advantage of the 24-hour bus service if you're just here to enjoy the local district. The home is a meticulously maintained sanctuary hosting visitors from around the globe- more like an international hostel than a private residence, yet relaxing and quiet. I'm fortunate that I was able to find such an excellent value for my limited budget. Definitely a 5-star experience in this price range, and one that I personally enjoyed and highly recommend to anyone who favors Monterey Park or simply wishes to have easy access to/from Union Station and other major transportation hubs, such as El Monte Transit Center. It's a great base from which to explore Southern California, or just wander around the neighborhood foraging for taro cakes... I don't see why anyone would fail to appreciate a sojourn on this immaculate couch or in one of Genghis's other available accommodations.
