I was staying in town for work this summer and needed a comfortable place to stay for about a month and Marco's place turned out to be perfect. I wasn't able to meet Marco, as we were on opposite schedules, but he made sure his neighbor, Cameron, was there to give me the tour so that I was well familiarized with everything. Marco also left a welcome letter and informed the security guard that I would be staying there, which helped out, as the complex is kept pretty secure. The pool and fitness room were a nice plus. The parking spot is behind a gate, at the top of the parking structure - very secure. The building was conveniently located so that I could walk downtown, Little Tokyo, and the Arts District by foot; there's no need to head south on San Pedro, as that's Skid Row. I would stay at Marco's again and would definitely recommend it to others.
