Carla and Marty's guest house was the perfect retreat in busy LA. It's cozy and quite spacious and they supplied us with all the right touches to make it feel like home. We used both the record player and the television and enjoyed relaxing in the living area very much. They are still in the process of updating the space, so there is no fridge and they are planning on replacing the shower, but honestly the current shower was fine and we really didn't feel like anything needed to be changed at all. The reclaimed wood walls are beautiful and the bed was very comfortable. I would recommend bringing a pair of slippers to wear in the house as the floor is brick and can be chilly at night.
Carla and Marty were wonderful hosts. They responded to our messages within an hour or two at the most and checked in with us during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely stay with them again in the future and highly recommend their guest house, especially to those looking for a place that doesn't feel like it's in the middle of Los Angeles! Oh, and that pool outside looks like it would be a wonderful treat during the summer months. It was a little too cold for us to attempt a swim on this trip.
