This mid-century modern home astounded us. After five days, we didn't ever want to leave! It is located on a quiet street atop a tall hill in Echo Park, with Elysian Park and an incredible view of downtown across the street in front. The house has great lines and architectural details inside and out. This includes a fantastic, serene, private deck that runs the length of the house in back, with great views across nearby areas to the mountains—particularly beautiful at night and in the mornings. Huge glass doors slide open, along with skylights and large vintage windows, for a wonderful textbook California indoor-outdoor living environment. The open living room and dining area looks like something out of a mid-century modern coffee table book. At sunset, it glows a gorgeous orange-gold—almost impossibly beautiful. The kitchen and the bathroom seem to have been redone recently, and are top quality; the bathroom is especially luxurious. The bedrooms are straightforward but very nice-and it was very quiet for sleeping. Marty was very friendly and clear in all of his communication, which was great. We could go on and on about how wonderful Marty's home was, but suffice it to say that if it is available next time we're in Los Angeles, we're 100% certain we will rent it.
