Manuel's place is sparkling clean, comfortable, and spacious! This East L.A. neighborhood felt very safe--I would recommend this over a lot of areas downtown, even if it adds a few minutes of driving. Free parking in the parking lot right next to the building is basically unheard of in L.A., and if that lot is full (we were in town for events in the middle of the week, so by the time we would get back around midnight the lot was pretty full), you can find street parking within a few blocks--also free, and we felt totally safe walking at night. I would definitely recommend Manuel's place; he was also very quick to communicate and friendly! Easy access to highways etc. from here also. Thanks Manuel!
