About this property
Gated Pool + Fire Pit + Sleeps 12 | Steps to Melrose | The Martel House
There's a version of a Los Angeles trip that only works when you've got the room for it — everyone under one roof, dinner outside, nobody watching a hotel checkout clock. The Martel House is built for that trip: six bedrooms behind a private gate, a pool out back, and Melrose Avenue a block up the street.
The back of the house is where the days go. A pool and hot tub anchor the space, ringed with lounge chairs for the long, unhurried middle of the afternoon. Come evening the BBQ goes on, the outdoor table sets for eight, and the group drifts toward the fire pit as the air cools off.
Inside, the layout is open and easy to move through. A deep sectional faces a large TV in the living room, with a modern fireplace built into the wall behind. The dining area seats eight and runs straight into a kitchen that can keep up with a group this size — premium appliances, real prep space, room for two or three people to cook without colliding.
Six bedrooms give everyone somewhere to land. The primary is anchored by a king bed and a spa-inspired ensuite with a premium walk-in shower and a deep soaking tub. Three more king bedrooms each have their own ensuite bath, and two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a walk-in shower — an easy setup for families or a group traveling together. All in, the home sleeps up to 12.
Then there's the neighborhood. Melrose runs a block north, lined with vintage racks, streetwear, murals, and coffee, and every Sunday the Melrose Trading Post fills the Fairfax High lot ten minutes up the sidewalk. West Hollywood picks up just west of here, where the avenue turns designer. The Grove and the Original Farmers Market sit under a mile south, Pan Pacific Park is closer still for a morning run, and Beverly Center is a few minutes by car. Beverly Hills, Hollywood, and the coast all pull easily from an address this central — which is the trade The Martel House makes: the whole city at hand, and a gate to close behind you at the end of it.

The outward appearance is a Neiman Marcus but the reality is a Walmart! The location was excellent and the outdoor area lovely but it was obvious the house has not been cared for.1. The main area floors were filthy, cigarettes butt and dirty sock under a bench in master bedroom. BBQ filthy and difficulty getting it to light.2. Broken or inoperable items: Reverse Osmosis tank and ice maker in kitchen not functional. Slats broken on one king bed, sink drain in 1/2 bath not working, Shower door in master not closing properly.3. Kitchen pots and pans poor quality and very limited options considering the size of the house. Silverware very poor quality and highly limited quantity.

We appreciate you sharing this feedback with us. It's good to hear the location and outdoor spaces were a highlight, though the condition concerns you described clearly impacted your overall experience.
We're sorry the home didn't present the way it should have on arrival. We're glad our team was able to work with you during your stay to put things right, and the housekeeping and presentation concerns you raised have since been addressed as well.
Should you consider staying with us again, we'd welcome the chance to show you the experience this home is meant to deliver.
The air conditioning was broken and we were sweltering. Nobody was sent to fix it. The jacuzzi hardly worked and that is why we took the property. The front door lock box was broken and we got locked out one night (late) for 90 minutes. The back door lock was broken and many time we had to go to bed without being able to lock it. And, not such a great neighborhood. The house had clumps of hair all around when we arrived and the windows had spider webs throughout. One bathroom had water pressure that was like a 1 out of 10. The water purifier in the kitchen was the same (after about 8 oz. came out). The kitchen was badly stocked and we had to buy many things ourselves from vegetable peelers to a blender.Worst experience we have ever had. NOTHING was fixed when we were there. We actually had to leave one day early because the house was inhabitable.

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. We're sorry your stay fell so far short of the experience we aim to provide, and we understand how frustrating the concerns you raised would be over the course of a stay.
The issues you described were shared with the team responsible for the home and have since been addressed, and we're glad we were able to connect with you directly to resolve this. This is not the standard we hold our homes to.
Should you consider staying with us again, we would welcome the chance to restore your confidence in us.
