If you want to know Los Angeles, like Anthony Bourdain might have, this is the place. You're in the midst of easily the best most authentic Mexican and Chinese (the later in San Gabriel) food in the city, all within a few minutes drive. One night we had one of the best meals in our lives. The neighborhood is hilly with great views of the city at dusk and in the morning. The neighbors are friendly. This neighborhood is clearly LatinX but there's a rich Jewish and Russian history easy to trace. For small items the local markets are excellent. There's an excellent piece of art work on the wall that reflects the neighborhood's history perfectly. For Los Angeles the space gets cold and one more little heater would have helped. I imagine there's must be air conditioning in the summer otherwise it would be hot. More hot water from shower, and suddenly this space is a better experience than a high priced hotel.
