First of all, Reyna was very friendly and responsive. She left water and coffee! The place is accurate enough on the inside from the pictures. If your destination IS El Monte specifically or its 3-5 mile radius, this place is just fine! Mine was further and I definitely paid the price lol
That being said, make sure you read the fine print on this place. I thought it was a flat fee for the whole house for x amount per day, this is not correct. It’s $20 per person on top of the flat fee. I didn’t see details on this until after I made the reservation, of course there is a “no cancellations” policy, so I was stuck. There are 3 bedrooms, the fourth bed is a pull out couch in the living room. The neighborhood is…not super nice.
Most of the positives come from the host being kind and responsive and the house being good enough on the inside. Not a bad place, price or area, I just feel a little misled on all 3.
