This place is just like the photos. It is a quiet, private, natural retreat – even though it's so close to all the hectic action of the city. Beautiful place, friendly neighborhood. It is a separate unit, a little down the hill from the street and main house. Trees all around. There is a cool deck on the roof with great views. Many great walks and Elysian Park hikes right out the door. It is hilly though, so be ready for ups and downs. But that's how you get the views, and it keeps you in shape! Great cafe options down the hill on Echo Park Ave; we especially liked Valerie, Pollen, and Cookbook. Sue and Gideon are good hosts and make everything easy.
