What a sweet place. It's compact, efficient, and thoughtfully designed. The kitchen was easy and enjoyable to use (coffee, sugar, tea, olive oil, salt and pepper is provided), which is really nice to have when you wake up after arriving late the night before). The bathroom is spacious, and the bed (though just a full) was comfortable once the owner provided a feather bed to help soften it. There's amply closet space, shelving, and we loved having a small seating area outside that was just our own, surrounded by bamboo so it felt like a little private oasis both from inside and out. We also loved the neighborhood. There are great places to eat within walking distance and we also enjoyed walking around Echo Park and nearby Elysian Park with hiking trails within a short drive. Both Maiana and Robert were quick to respond, and gracious hosts.
