Marilyn was a great host she was extremely helpful throughout my stay and quick with responses. The area is nice if you want to stay near downtown or dodger’s stadium. I recommend Bar Flores, the semi tropics and sticky rice restaurant right downstairs or within walking distance. Echo park was nice too if you have a pup, my dog enjoyed it or even just to walk around. Parking was a small hassle at first till you get the hang of it, not impossible! If you’re not from LA I definitely recommend watching out for parking signs they are all different and you will get tickets, just to avoid that. Supermarket within walking distance and pharmacy if needed. I would definitely recommend!
