A nice, spacious home in a quiet area with good parking; a short and easy walk to supermarket and Walgreens. The host communicated with us in a timely fashion, and check-in/check-out went very smoothly. We've stayed in multiple homes in the El Monte area, and this one was good value for the money. It was especially nice to have 3.5 bathrooms! Furnishings are sparse but adequate. Kitchen has nice big fridge and stove and microwave and dishwasher. We cooked a few simple meals there and aside from a shortage of cutlery, had what we needed to cook and dine in. Nice washer and dryer. Overall, very good marks.
