Tony’s place is extremely clean. No weird smells or scents, no bugs; the place was spotless. At first I was skeptical about the location of the house, considering things I’ve heard of El Monte, but it is actually amazing. It is a quiet neighborhood, and the house is located at the end of an alley. But, it feels as if you have more privacy and space at the end of the alley, as I was able to park two vehicles (a truck and a minivan) without blocking the alleyway. The home has everything you need for a good, comfortable stay. We didn’t need any extra towels or blankets or anything, but Tony made sure that if we did, he would provide them, which was good to know considering his communication and responses is quick. The house may seem small for big groups, but 7 family members and I were able to fit comfortably in the house and get ready in the morning at the same time with the two bathrooms. I definitely suggest renting, it’s a great deal. Will definitely go out of my way to try and book this house when I’m in the area again.
