We stayed at Maianas place over the last few weeks. The room was beautifully decorated and had everything that you needed. Though it was much smaller and extremely dark - other than on the photos. It was not the ideal place to experience sunny L.A. The wifi only worked at some parts of the apartment, so not ideal if you plan on working there. The walls were also very thin, so you could hear everything from above. We didn't meet Maiana, but Robert was always very nice with helping us with everything. It's in a very beautiful area, super close to the beautiful Echo Lake and some good restaurants. So if you are staying there for just a few days and want to experience L.A. it's nice, but not the perfect place to stay longer.
