The bungalows (there are two, side by side) are in Echo Park, which is a great location. The bungalows are close to restaurants, shops and lovely walking areas. Also close by is Elysian Park which has great hiking trails and some great views of LA. Two great nearby grocery stores are the tiny Cookbook (to the left and about two blocks away from the bungalows) which has spectacular produce, wonderful breads and baked goods and great take out items and Lassens an organic supermarket to the right as you exit the premises and next to the Walgreens a block away. The bungalow, which was very clean, has a well-equipped kitchen with a full- size stove, microwave and toaster oven (there is also a regular toaster in one of the cabinets under the counter). There is a French press coffee maker and a hot water pot. Although we did not cook, Debbie has stocked the kitchen with all the necessary utensils as well as pots and pans for cooking. For the bathroom she has provided shampoo, conditioner, bath gel, a hair dryer and a hair iron. There is an iron and an ironing board in the ample bedroom closet. The queen size bed is super comfortable.
Anyone who knows LA, knows that on the street parking can be a challenge, so the fact that there is gated parking on the premises is a huge plus, and as the bungalows are set back from the street, you don't hear much traffic noise. The weather was very rainy and quite cold during our visit. Our only issue was that although there was a working heating unit in the main living area, it was difficult to warm the room up, and the heating unit in the bedroom wasn't working. However, there was a portable radiator in the bedroom that kept the bedroom toasty and helped warm up the living room.
Debbie is a responsive host and will quickly reply to any questions or concerns you may have. In spite of the unusually cold and rainy weather, we still enjoyed our Echo Park stay.
