We had an excellent stay in Chandra's beautiful apartment. The neighborhood is very pleasant, we felt at times like we were in Italy or Spain in the way that the neighborhood is set up. The apartment is not in the middle of city buzzing and noise but it is a super brief walk (1-2 mins) from very sweet spots in Echo Park neighborhood. So, it offered us a very nice balance of being in an urban area while offering some quiet times in the patio. It was our first time in LA, but I'd say it was an ideal spot to explore everything that LA has to offer. Chandra has thought of every essential need and she is super responsive and accommodating if you need anything extra, she was able to quickly ship us some K-cups that we needed to remain caffeinated during our stay. The hike to the house that Chandra warns you about is super doable and the house itself and the view from the patio is totally worth that brief hike. Parking has been super unproblematic, we were always able to find a spot within a 2 minute walking range from the apartment! Overall, totally recommended and we would love to be back!
