Raquel and Aaron's place is in a fantastic location in Echo Park that is central to lots of things in LA. Raquel was very helpful and responsive for everything that came up during our stay. As other reviews have noted, we felt the house could have been a bit cleaner, the shower in the front bathroom is quite small and the noise from upstairs and other neighbors does carry a lot. LA can get decently cold during the winter and the house doesn't have central heating - they provide 2 space heaters but we were pretty cold the whole time. We had some minor plumbing issues with the toilet in the front bathroom running and Raquel was very quick to respond and did her best to get it fixed despite the holiday (as we stayed over New Year's). Overall the place served our needs during our stay in LA.
