From the moment we arrived on the driveway, Miguel was there to greet us, walk us through the apartment and make us welcome. And it stayed like that throughout our time in Montebello. Yes, you'll need a car for the principal LA sights and yes, expect to sit in queues on the freeway, but the property is in a safe neighbourhood away from LA's well publicised issues, with a big supermarket and outdoor pool one block away. The decor is old fashioned, but all very clean. The wifi is fast, the shower hot and the Netflix is a treat. For a budget spend you've got everything you need, but it's Miguel's care, hospitality and kindness which make this booking one to go for. Thank you so much.
