I stayed here for ten weeks and had a very enjoyable and pleasant experience. The on-site manager is really nice and helpful. The premises are clean and the room (Marilyn Monroe) had everything I needed for my extended stay. I highly recommend Essex Mannor!

DenverThe Essex Manor was ideal for our month-long la stay
Left on 03/07/2012 for a stay in February 2012
My teenage son and I were recently in Los angeles for a month on business. We were so fortunate to have found The Essex Manor on Craig's List.
The location was ideal, as we needed to be in various locations around the city and we were able to get anywhere we needed in about 20 minutes. We also spent a good bit of time around the neighborhood, day and night, and found it to be interesting, culturally exciting, safe and being so close to the amazing building that houses Southwestern Law School gave us solid grounding both visually and aesthetically.
The staff and amenities couldn't have been more perfect. The apartment and building were very clean and well-tended. The parking was extremely safe and convenient.
We will definitely stay at The Essex on future la visits! -

We really enjoyed our stay here! Apartment had all amenities required, free, secure off street parking and reasonably priced laundry facilities! Free wifi!! Not too far from tourist attractions/sights but you'd need your own car! A new year's gift from the company was a lovely touch!! We'd definitely stay here again!! :o)

Just as I expected, although the hallway smells funny but overall it is excellent. It has everything, just about everything... would stay again.

From Essex Manor Management Office: We are glad that our guest found the premises to be excellent overall and that the guest would return. As to a smell in the hallway, we were not informed about it so we could not investigate whether it was a cooking smell, a temporary smell of another origin, etc. Had we been informed, we would have investigated and taken corrective measures as necessary, which we will do now.

We really enjoyed our stay in the Marilyn Suite at Essex Manor. It is exactly as it looks in the pictures. The Marilyn touches are tasteful, and it is clean and well kept. This suite has everything you need for a long term stay in L.A. The building is clean and secure. The neighbourhood is relatively quiet and clean, and only a few blocks from the metro station and busses. Not too much traffic noise at night. You 'could' sleep 4 people in this room but my teenage daughter and I did find it cozy with just the 2 of us. The memory foam mattresses make for the most wonderful sleep. My only peeve was that the hot tub is 'down' for the night at 9 o'clock. As we were quite often getting in at 8 or 8:30, this meant we didn't get to use the it as often as we would have liked. All in all, much better than staying in a motel or small hotel, and cheaper as well.

Dear Ms. Elliot,
Thank you so much for the great review and feedback. We had limited the use of the jacuzzi to 9:00 p.m. as we were concerned about residents close to the area, but we will check with them to determine whether we can revise the time limit upward.
Best regards,

Great escape for a weekend trip. Our primary reason for going to la was for Universal Studios which was about a 15 minute drive. It was also easy to get to the la Farmers Market and The Grove. Very spacious for being a studio apt. We utilized the stove/fridge/microwave which saved on going out for a couple of meals. Outside of the many fireworks going off all weekend, it was very quiet for being in the city. When we opened the door to leave and check-out, we had caramel apples at the doorway in celebration for the 4th of July. Thanks for that, and the clean, safe place to stay.

Sydney, AustraliaGreat accommodation, location a little out-of-the-way
Left on 07/05/2011 for a stay in June 2011
We were really happy at the Essex Manor.
Good-sized room for two people, nice that it has a separate dressing room and bathroom, well decorated and kitted out with everything you could need - plenty of fresh towels, waste-baskets etc. The bed is on the soft-side, though.
The kitchen was brilliant. Full-sized, fully-equipped and exactly what we needed.
The only draw-back for us was the location. If you are spending a lot of time on the west-side of L.A., West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Venice and Santa Monica etc, then get ready to spend a lot of time in the car. But if you're staying more around Downtown, Silverlake, East Hollywood, then it's a good option...
We would definitely consider staying again, depending on where most of our activitites were based.
