Our family spent Christmas thru New Year's Day in this sweet little boho home. We enjoyed reading and cooking and taking our little dog on long walks, yes we were so fortunate that they welcomed our tiniest family member our ten pound "Boodle" Teddy. We even walked to the Wi Spa on Wilshire and spent the day there as a present for our kids. The space was super clean and cozy and the towels were oh so fluffy! We played many rounds of banana grams and loved the various lamps and lighting and the sheep skins on the soft couches and the photos and personal touches of our host's family.
As two moms from the east coast, with kids visiting from France and China, we wanted to give our family a lot of choices for their vacation, and Echo Park has it all. Many great restaurants and cool vintage stores, and is not a far drive from must see places like The Getty or The Vietnamese Restaurant in Pasadena. The space is a marvelous oasis from the surrounding noisy city life, which is what you can expect from downtown. The porches and the little fountain and the fire pit are beautiful! We felt like we had a magical place to escape to after exploring the city or visiting our family! The trees provide a lot of privacy, but sharing the space with a downstairs tenant is something to be aware of if you are looking for an exclusive space for your family. However the hosts have mentioned all of these things in their description and I think it's the best of both worlds, a true city experience in a stylish cozy home! I would definitely come back, and I will definitely tell friends and family when they are looking for a downtown delight!
