Vic, Sarah, and the Gang there are awesome. I'm truly happy to have met such wonderful professionals. Large dinners are the norm almost every night and great company. After a long day of exploring the surroundings or visiting friends, i would come home and instantly feel like i was in a relaxing environment. The bunks are comfortable and everyone is respectful of your stuff. I felt like i was part of a family throughout my stay, feeling cared for, taken care of, and comfortable. Vic is a great host. Sarah is a great cook. And everyone you meet there adds a little more character to the location. Cal train was very accessible as i went up tot he city a lot, about 15 minutes jogging. There are also great running routes off of Monroe(Thanks Vic!) free of cars. Walking distance to El Camino Real, where great restaurants are located if you like Korean food, ramen, or great coffee, (Chromatic). Overall, Vic's place is perfect if you want a location to just hang out and relax. There is pull-up bar that is actually very conveniently placed outside by the pool. Great place, can't wait to head back to California to stay there again!!!!
