I moved to LA from NYC and needed a comfortable and safe place to stay until I found an apartment and got settled. Marc and Karen's place was exactly that.
Communication before and during my stay was great and easy. There were issues with hot water during my stay, but Marc always communicated with me so it was never a problem for me.
Parking on the block can be annoying, but they provided a visitor permit and gave some tips on where and how to park. Marc even texted me to remind me of street cleaning so I wouldn't get a ticket.
The place is comfortable and cozy. There's a mini fridge, a microwave, and an induction hot plate for basic cooking.
Moving across the country is scary, especially during a pandemic. The place was clean, and I felt safe.
A note if you're traveling with another person: The bathroom has no door, so you'll want to make sure that you're comfortable doing your business in front of the person you're with. Also worth mentioning that the Casita shares a wall with the main house, so you'll sometimes hear voices through the wall, but it never bothered me.
Overall I'm so happy to have found this gem. I ended up loving the neighborhood so much that I moved into a place just a mile down the street. Definitely recommend staying here. You won't regret it!
