nice large room with huge closet, and adjacent bathroom. the host Ma is welcoming and hospitable, was intent on making my stay as good as possible. internet was good, and had large desk to work from.
I received a clean blanket, and very nice towel for showers. there wasn’t a coffee machine when I got there, but I bought a french press and Ma bought it from me, so now there will be one for future guests.
plenty of street parking, but it gets hot in El Monte, so try to find shade if you’re a human. the best part about Ma’s place, is he has an avocado tree and an orange tree on his property, so you get organic fruits if you visit at a the right time. I had an orange and it was delicious.
