I was in LA on family business, and needed to stay near my son who has only a tiny apartment. Shana's room was a blessing and just as pictured and described. The apartment was quite spacious with lots of windows, the bed was very comfortable, and Shana had room for me set aside in the bathroom cabinet. She showed me around the kitchen and invited me to share condiments and teas, etc. Her place was homey and comfortable, very clean and had everything I needed for this trip (including her sweet and friendly kitty, Walter Peter); the layout assured privacy. I really appreciated Shana's warmth and obvious desire for me to be happy and comfortable at her apartment. I enjoyed conversation with Shana at several points during my 5 night stay. The off street parking was a fabulous feature...one not always found in Echo Park. I had a good stay, and would return in the future. ;-)
