I had booked Carrie's place after abandoning a disastrous sublet situation: what I found was a quiet refuge from the unpredictability and aloofness of Los Angeles rentals.
What you'll get with Carrie's:
- a clean and comfortable bed
- big closet all to yourself
- a tidy kitchen for your full use
- sparkling and spacious private bathroom
- easy access to trails in Elysian Park
- a short walk from the bars, coffee shops, and restaurants of Echo Park
- relatively breezy parking (Dodger home games offer some challenges)
- charming outdoor yard space
- a perfect place to rest, recharge, and go back out into the world
There is no TV so bring books for nightly entertainment. Also, there is no table so dining for more than one in-house is tricky. There is a small desk in the room but it's not especially conducive if you have a lot of work to do (luckily Stories coffee shop is open late with ample space for remote laptop stuff).
Carrie was a phenomenal host. Whether you're in town for a weekend or a month (like I was) her room for rent is the perfect place to get some peace and a good night's sleep.
