Marcus was a lovely host and checked up on us throughout our stay to see if we needed anything and to ensure we were happy with our stay. The house and yard are beautiful and decorated in a minimal contemporary type of way. We really enjoyed everything about it. The view overlooking Echo Park hills was breathtaking and the house sits in a quite, nice neighborhood at the top of one of the Echo Park hills. We had a truly special and memorable stay here where the pond created a serene and relaxing atmosphere and the fire pit was fun to cook s'mores at night. Definitely recommended for anyone looking for an oasis that is close to downtown LA, Hollywood and the hip Echo Park, Silverlake and Los Feliz scene but an escape from it all when you come home. Feel at ease booking here. You'll be happy you did.
