We stayed at Chris with my wife and our 3-year old daughter and had a wonderful time. Attention to details such as Bigelow shampoo and conditioner or a list with the best shops, restaurants etc... Echo Park is a bit of an Indie space. It is lower key than Silver Lake, but in my opinion more authentic. Fantastic farmer's market on Friday's 3 blocks from the house....

Easy set-up. You get the key from a box. Chris and his partner were very friendly and helpful and responded to our text messages promptly. They are architects and renovated the house in a simple but very nice way. Would definite come back, if in LA with or without kids.
