My stay at Marz's place was awesome! I was in LA for work meetings and after full days of driving on the freeways all over the LA area, it was so nice to come "home" to a tree-lined, residential street with tons of street parking and then spend the rest of the evening walking around the Venice neighborhood.
I enjoyed breakfast every morning at Superba Food + Bread which was only a block away. Dinner at Gjelina on Abbott Kinney was amazing and Jenni's Ice Cream on Rose Ave. was delicious and worth the calories:)
Marz's father, Antoine, was very welcoming when I checked in (I was later than expected due to traffic) and gave lots of insider neighborhood tips. He was always available throughout the stay and even offered the use of Beach Cruiser bikes. His beautiful paintings are found throughout the house and room.
The room itself was spacious and very well-equipped with interesting decor and thoughtfully prepared for the needs of guests. The bathroom was sparkling clean and looks very new and had a beautiful skylight. The bed was very comfortable with lovely sheets and a fluffy, cozy comforter. Perhaps my favorite part of the stay was enjoying the private outdoor terrace right outside the room which was a nice way to start and end the day.
Thank you again Marz and Antoine!
