We had an amazing stay for New Year’s Eve at Kate’s place. We arrived at night so it was a little difficult for us to find the entrance at first but Kate was quick to answer her phone and helped us figure out which gate to enter through. The alleyway seems sketchy at first because it was so dark, but we had 3 parking spots so we didn’t have to park on the street. We later ended up chatting with some of the neighbors on the way back from the liquor store and they were really sweet. Boyle Heights is a tight knit community.
The rooms had plenty of space and everything was immaculate. No dust and sheets were really soft and comfy. The sound proofing in the house was pretty impressive. We had a 9 month old baby with us and she was sound asleep the entire night despite the fireworks at midnight and loud talking in the kitchen.
The kitchen has the perfect amount of space and we cooked an amazing tapas style meal. Kate put so much thought into the decor and stocked the kitchen with cute dishes and cocktail glasses. It really elevated our meal. She even left ice for us in the freezer.
The gallery wall was our favorite part of the house and we took so many pictures in front of it. I love that the living room didn’t have a TV because we spent more time conversing with each other.
Thanks for hosting us Kate! We had such a good time.
