Marco's place is in a great location, and is private and quiet. I felt quite safe in the neighborhood, which was important to me as a solo traveler. Alex was very responsive to my questions. The wifi worked well for my work zoom meetings. There was a heat wave the last few days of my stay, and the cottage the AC wasn't able to keep up, so the cottage got quite warm (82 degrees according to the thermostat). Alex contacted the HVAC company, and I imagine that problem was resolved after I left. I will try to stay here again the next time I visit LA!
