I departed the East Coast for a 5-week stint in LA. 5 weeks is a long time to commit to staying in a place, sight unseen. What if the bed was horribly uncomfortable, the water pressure completely non-existent, etc. etc. You don't always know what you're going to get w/AirBnB. With Marco... you get all GREAT STUFF! His loft is immaculate. The furnishings are incredibly comfortable and in near-new condition, the building is quiet, clean and very safe (think Fort Knox), and he himself, was an incredible host (from day 1, through my departure). Anything I needed, he was happy to help out with, genuinely. He such a nice guy too, that I feel I've gained another new friend in LA (which is not to imply that he's all up in your business while you're staying in his loft, cause he's not). The loft is truly a great, comfortable, easy space to live in. The kitchen is set up with just about everything you could need. The bathroom has a new stacked washer/dryer setup in it, which was perfectly located and made life easy. Great bathroom, great shower, great livingroom setup with comfy couch... I utilized every corner of the place.... including many days spent at the desk working away. Marco's loft is that great ALL-IN-ONE home away from home location. And if you're lucky enough to stay here, I'm sure you'll agree! *The one note I feel it is important to share, is that he's on the border of Little Tokyo and Skid Row. There are many homeless people in the area. I had zero trouble while I stayed. The building and parking structure are both completely secure. It's just not an area where I would recommend venturing out on foot. I did it one day though, hiking it over to a nearby Starbucks. Not an issue. And I think most heading to LA are not going to spend their time hanging out exclusively in Little Tokyo. LA has a lot more to see and do that just that!!! Uber picked me up, and dropped me off, several times, right out front (both before and after I had my rental car). So I really don't see much reason for the location to deter anyone. Just know in advance, that the neighborhood is in the process of changing - while simultaneously being conveniently located to everything. THANK YOU MARCO!!! You made my stay in LA a great, easy, convenient one!!!
