Dean is an awesome host - friendly, flexible, great communication. The unit itself is comfortable and relaxing. We especially loved the constant breeze and proximity to the lake and Echo Park. The balcony could use a deep clean and the surrounding foliage is a bit overgrown (blocking the potential view), but these are minor issues. Just a couple things to be aware of about about the location: The building is immediately adjacent to a public stairway and empty lot that attract squatters. Some nights we experienced yelling and loud music, and we didn't feel entirely safe at all hours. This is a bigger problem than Dean (or any individual) can solve, but I think it's important that future guests are aware of this situation before they arrive. Also, parking can be challenging in the evenings. There is a lot guests can use down a long alley but we didn't feel confident about the safety of our vehicle in the space.
