Marina’s place is in one of the best locations I’ve ever stayed in LA. It’s so close to the beach, great grocery stores, a variety of restaurants and close enough to the freeway for a quick out of town trip.
Parking is easy and always available, and she generously gives you a street pass.
The place was spotless! Much to my pleasure, she had just taken the bed cover out of the wash when I arrived - so you know everything is cleaned well between guests.
Very minor notes and definitely not negatives - because it is a basement it’s a little cool and damp, so she had an awesome Dyson space heater that warmed the place in minutes (and has heated floors in the bathroom!). The kitchen has all the basic amenities including a hot plate, there’s just not a vent in the kitchen though. However, you can open the windows and bathroom vent if you’re making stinky foods!
All in all, it was fantastic!!
