I was in LA for the Grammys and wasn't looking at all forward to having to stay in a Downtown hotel. Thank God, a local friend of a friend found me this little pearl in the Elysian hills of Echo Park. It completely changed my trip. As expected, I didn't like the Grammys and was so happy to return home to this magical haven surrounded by trees. It was like being above LA in the clouds. LA is a rip off, generally. That was my (European) impression anyway, so my advice: if you're going, choose your location carefully. This is a small 1920s hunting cabin. A real old world vibe about the place. Lots of original detail. Tastefully done. The area was lovely for walks and photos. Handy also to get in and out of town by Uber. Not for the unfit though. It's a hilly place. It's simple and lovely. The deck and yard area is a real plus. It's an arty place. Always was, apparently. If you're naturally that way inclined, you'll feel at home. Jooles herself is very friendly, trustworthy and helpful. GM
