Ericks place is a great place to stay in Echo Park. It has a roomy sitting and dining room and a good sized kitchen. The bathroom is sufficient, the bath a bit small but ok. The bedroom is big enough, you can fit a pack n play and your suitcases there. The only thing you miss is a window for some fresh air.
It was a bit cold when we arrived and we had to use the gas heater a couple of times last week. It does the job of getting the place warm.
I consider the place child save apart from the gas heater which gets very hot and the small yard which is not that big, but great to have. For kids there is not a lot of room to play and no lawn. The neigbours dogs like to visit often, they are friendly to kids but also leave some presents behind, which is not so much fun having a kid running around.
The neighborhood is save and quiet and recommended are the food market, bakery and Yogala if you are in to yoga.
