We stayed at James's place for 3 nights at the end of August and we loved it! The room has everything you need, including a nice backyard which is a perfect spot to chill with a beer and cuddle with Ripley the dog. The location, between Silver Lake and Echo Park, is really cool and offers a lot of different places to go out for food and drinks. It is not a very touristy area (which we liked) but it is also not a long drive to Hollywood or various beaches. James's housemates are very lovely; they were very welcoming and they took us out with them to some cool bars. We wish we could have stayed here longer but if we go back to LA in the future we will definitely check if we can stay here again :)
Thank you James, Lauren & Jon - you are always welcome to stay with us in the Netherlands!
