We had a good time staying at Marty's place which is in a great neighborhood in Santa Monica/West LA. The studio is very tastefully furnished, comfortable and we found the place to be very clean. Its in a convenient location (Santa Monica pier is about 10-15 mins away) and we got to the places we wanted to, without any issues. The place had WiFi, Cable TV, an A/C among other amenities. We had access to street parking in a very safe neighborhood which was a big plus.
Marty was a great host - he provided clear instructions for check in and was very responsive - be it in answering questions or in providing helpful suggestions on the area.
Would definitely recommend staying at his place!
