Cindy and her son Raymond, a bright and well-mannered 12-14 child, reside in a well-kept condo in Monterey Park. I had no problems whatsoever with the lodging or the hosts. Only street parking is available overnight which I grew accustomed to, and during the day there is parking on grounds to help facilitate unloading groceries and personal belongings.
There are plenty of sit-down and fast-food restaurants in the area, and a Walmart 5-6 minutes to the East which I found very convenient.
