I enjoyed my stay in this place. The host is very attentive and made sure I had all I needed. The room is clean and the bed is very comfortable. The check in process is easy and the family is there to greet you. There is parking space for a car which is great if you are driving to LA like I did. El Monte is about a 35 min to DTLA. I would stay here again and I would recommend this room to anyone.
