We absolutely loved our stay here. The place is beautiful, on a hill in East Los Angeles. The unit feels very private with a beautiful, well kept but also natural backyard that slopes down to the valley below. It feels like you are in old LA in the best way.
The room itself was super cute and warm. You can tell a lot of thought went it to the interior decorating. It looks dope, and my gf and I felt like we had our own bohemian apt in the hills of LA. The bathroom is huge, and the tub, which I used every day is a huge clawfoot that fills up all the way with hot water. The host also provided sitz bath salts which was wonderful.
The neighborhoods surrounding the place is really cool. I am very familiar with west LA, the South Bay, and lived in LA for 7 years, but had not spent any time in East LA. I had read about Montecito Heights, Boyle Heights, Monterey Park, East LA as whole, but have never stayed around there. While you can tell gentrification is creeping in, it still felt very much like (what I imagine) old LA felt like and looked like. There is amazing food all over. We had amazing tacos, Korean food, and a nice brunch all within 15 minutes of the place. We rented a car and that made the stay much more enjoyable because we were able to cruise around and see the different neighborhoods. There was little traffic in the area on the surface streets, though it was the weekend. It is much slower place than West LA (Santa Monica, Marina del Rey etc) and Hollywood, which made it so much more enjoyable and unique for us.
I would absolutely stay there again. It was also very reasonably priced. Thank you for the wonderful stay, it exceeded already high expectations.
