I loved staying at Marina’s place. You have everything you need, laundry machine, all kitchen accessories, stove, etc. The room is pretty spacious and very clean. Easy communication, check in/check out. There is a swim stadium 10 min walk from the apartment. If you don’t have a car, bus station is 5 min walking distance and metro line C is 7 min away (takes you directly to Santa Monica). There is not much to do in the area, but the apartment is the cleanest I ever stayed in LA.
