Emerson was a great host. He was quick to follow up upon check-in time to ensure that everything went smooth. The unit is set in a good location and is good value relative to the shops in Monterey Park where you can get around fairly easily and quickly on foot (about 15 min walk to most areas in the vicinity). Some of the amenities look like they hadn't been updated in awhile, but this in no way hindered our stay. Mostly just from an aesthetic perspective. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a weekend getaway. No flash and frills but meets all basic needs for a home base.
