Hettie's place is in the most perfect location if you're looking to enjoy east LA (echo park, silverlake, etc). 5 minute walk to a great stretch of bars, restaurants, coffee shops (I worked from Stereoscope one day, Stories' backyard another day). Hettie and Randy are so nice and if you run into them, you'll have a great conversation. If you don't, thats OK too - they will give you your privacy and space! The room is small but efficient - comfy bed, nice TV and great private bathroom. I would not recommend working from the room due to no desk and somewhat spotty wi-fi for video calls especially - but there are plenty of places within walking distance so you should have no problem. I would definitely stay here again next time I'm in LA.
