We had a great stay and Pete was very responsive to my communications before and during my stay, even though he was in Europe for part of the time. The house is great for lounging in the sun and firing up the BBQ on the deck. The pool isn't huge, but nice if you just want to splash around or float in the sun. The neighborhood is great, with plenty of markets, restaurants and bars nearby. Hollywood and Downtown are easy drives/ubers/bus rides from Echo Park. Check out their restaurant/pub across the street!
