After staying at the space for a month, I have nothing but praise for the apartment and Martineke. The pad is well decorated, has great appliances and a warm atmosphere. Amenities such as central a/c, speedy wifi and a flat-screen TV make it a fun place to relax when inside. If you prefer the outdoors, the apartment is located in close proximity to Echo Park, Silver Lake and Atwater Village. Martineke and her husband Larry were extremely gracious hosts throughout my month long visit. If you want to know anything about Los Angeles, such as the history, places to visit or where the locals eat, they're the people to ask. I highly recommend Martineke and Larry's apartment whether you're looking for a quick SoCal get away or an extended stay in Los Angeles.
