Kate's place is a beautiful retreat in the hills of Echo Park area. It has a very private feel, tucked away but still very walkable. I walked to the cafes on Sunset Boulevard everyday (about 20 minute walk) after running on the trail near the house. There's a great bathtub at Kate's place, the shower is excellent, and the bed is extremely comfy and clean. The whole place is very clean (something really important to me as a traveler) and it's well-kept and there is plenty of parking on the street. Would definitely stay again.
