If you’re on the fence about this Airbnb - stay here. Pack a few books, and enjoy the most stunning little home in LA. I woke up every morning to birds chirping, fell asleep reading on the day bed nook, and enjoyed working from home inside the office and out in the multiple seating areas in the garden (the WiFi is great for video calls!).
I’d definitely have a car, you could walk to many places in Echo Park (~20 min to most of the coffee shops and restaurants I went to) but it’s a bit hilly.
Daniel also was a fantastic host, very communicative and helpful.
