We stayed at Eric's place over the 4th of July and had a great time! York and Figueroa are just a quick drive and it takes about 20 minutes to get to downtown. The actual space is comfortable and accommodated four of us well while still offering privacy. There's a dining table and plenty of sitting room in the living room. This can be a crash pad or a place to stay throughout the day. And of course, it's well decorated. If I'm ever back around Highland Park I'd be happy to stay here again!
