My stay at Marias Manor was truly exceptional in every possible way. The location and studio are not only wonderfully convenient and well appointed, but the host and the residents nearby are absolutely phenomenal, welcoming, and kind. My stay could not have been more perfect. The studio is in a fabulous location for getting around the city, to the beach, making it to great food, and can easily support a completely carless stay. It was less than a 15 minute walk to the beach and less than two blocks to really phenomenal coffee and food. The neighborhood is cute, walkable, inviting, and friendly. The unit itself is well furnished, with a gorgeous bathroom and significantly more space than can be seen in the images on the listing. I did happen to bring my vehicle and felt safe and secure with it off the street and safely parked in the driveway just feet from my door. The laundry on premises is truly phenomenal, no coin operation or strange laundry rooms to deal with. The host, Marty, struck the impossibly perfect balance between being available for questions and concerns and providing a truly private unit and stay. When there were issues with some local roadwork and even local plumbing lines (both totally outside of Matry’s control) he helped me fix the issue quickly and with kindness and concern for my convenience, even while I worked from the unit. I cannot recommend staying at Marias Manor any more highly. They will be my first call on my next trip to LA, without question.
