First, let me write about the location. You can tell from the description where the market is in Culver City and how convenient it is to many locations around Los Angeles.
Jackson Market is utterly charming; “a paradise” my mother said. The market has excellent, high-quality menu offerings, as well as plenty of food to stock your kitchen for meals. The courtyard in back offers plenty of corners for some degree of privacy, and the koi pond and fountains provide a nice blur of low-level white noise. You can people watch or stick to yourself; there is almost always an interesting person around to strike up a conversation with. There is a pizza oven on site for pizza Thur-Sunday. Yum.
If you never left the market and had a good book, you’d be perfectly happy.
The apartment is beautiful, recently done. Appliances, fixtures, furniture—all top-notch. The host has a good aesthetic. There is plenty of space to relax in the dining area, living room or bedroom. A great base for getting to all sorts of activities all over town, since you can return and feel “home” as opposed to just coming back to your room. Plenty of privacy when you want it.
Nicholas was gracious, friendly, easy-going and approachable. Need more towels? No problem. Out of tissues? Quickly remedied. Noisy neighbors? Handled. He always responded very quickly. We felt welcome and comfortable even before we arrived. Communication from the host could not have been better.
The market is a bustling place, with people coming and going to the deli and market, but you can easily escape that in your apartment. Everyone we met who works there was friendly and helpful.
I never had problems finding a parking spot at all times of the day, even up until 9pm, though I had to walk a minute or two to get to the property.
I don’t like to write reviews, and I’m always suspicious of them, but I can’t say enough good things about our experience. We’ll be back again!
