My experience in the apartment was great. If you don't like sharing your space, this is a fantastic option at a reasonable price. Edgar was most attentive and totally available. The place is exactly as described in the photos and Edgar has paid attention to every detail to make the host feel confortable. Clean, tidy and luminous, the unit has many working windows and the air con and heating systems function very well. The kitchen is really cute and is equipped. The bathroom is spacious and quaint. The bed is super conformable. The unit is a second floor and although your have neighbors next door, I never heard them. You have a dedicated, gated parking spot which is a real plus is LA. The area is not the best, nor the most exciting part of Echo Park, yet is close enough to be considered convenient and central.
