Really really enjoyed this place!
First of all, the location is great, within walking distance to Abbot Kinney and Rose Ave. for dining and shopping.
The room is spacious, airy, and open and you get to use her patio for relaxing the soaking up the sun.
You have your own private bathroom upstairs, which is always nice.
I was a little worried about sharing the entrance door, but Marilyn was always discreet about coming/going, and so I never felt uncomfortable or weird about it.
She is really nice to chat with, very polite and thoughtful. It gets cold at night and the first night she saw me piling up on my clothes and the next day she brought me an extra blanket. Another time, she was on the phone on the 2nd floor when I came back to the room and I noticed she went to the top of the floor so not to disturb me with her conversation. She was really considerate and I really appreciated those little details.
I would definitely come back if I needed a place to stay here in LA again :)
