This place is so perfect for families. Comfy beds, clean, nice bathrooms, great location! Our favorite part was the balcony where we ate meals and laughed with friends after nearly two years away from LA. The breezes up in the hills of echo park were so welcome in the summer LA heat! I spent lots of time out there watching the skies with my kiddo. The front yard was lovingly landscaped and the backyard was big enough for a three year old to run off energy.
Indoors the place stayed cool with wall mount ac units and even portable acs and the basement room was huge and comfortable with enough space for us and our little one (my son said his favorite part was "sleeping downstairs" haha!) The bedroom upstairs is cute and perfect for our sixteen year old niece who came along.
There was tons of yard space for our kiddo to explore and it was a short walk to all of our old Echo Park haunts. The hosts checked in at just the right times and were very nice--responding to and resolving any issue (of which there were nearly none--just wifi stuff) immediately! The whole spot has a sweet air of attention to detail/thoughtful interior design without being obnoxiously trendy or feeling like it was so precious that we needed to walk on eggshells. Family and dog friendly yes but also great for folks without kids who are looking for a low key LA eastside experience--just lovely all around.
I am definitely going to try and book this place again for my family's next LA visit.
