We absolutely loved staying at Russ’s place. He was a fantastic host, responsive, and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. The house is comfy, the back deck was so nice to relax on after a morning hike, and the neighborhood is beautiful, with easy access to LA, OC, coffee, restaurants, and downtown Monrovia — a must visit. We even saw deer in the morning down the street! We will definitely be staying here again on our next visit to the LA area.
