Nina’s place was great value for money, with amenities that made the stay convenient and pleasant. If you look at hotel prices in the LA area, you might balk, especially if you’re traveling on a tight budget. Nina’s place had a comfortable bed in a private room, which was all I needed after a long, exhausting day. The residence is shared with other guests, so you must be considerate while using the common spaces, such as the bathroom and kitchen. But I found it always nice and quiet, and the other guests were always courteous. If you are arriving with a car, parking can be tricky, given the City of Alhambra’s restrictions on street parking. However, Nina provided instructions on parking my car in their back driveway, which was most convenient. The contactless and self-check-in process also went smoothly. Finally, if you want to get around town (i.e., to LA and other locales), the city Metro is a few blocks away, as are many eateries. It was a great stay; I am most grateful.
