Pete was super responsive during the duration of our stay, but we didn't have to speak to him often as the place had everything we needed and everything was pretty much perfect. Echo Park is an incredible neighbourhood and is central to pretty much anywhere you'd want to go in LA, although we had a hard time prying ourselves from the patio and pool because it's just so awesome up there. We had to pinch ourselves every morning, waking up to gorgeous views of sprawling Echo Park with the Hollywood sign in the distance. Inside, everything is beautifully furnished and very new. We also arrived to a gift basket with some nice wine, snacks and a gift certificate to The Lost Knight — an adjacent pub in Echo Park also owned by the owners of this house. The place is both central and secluded — after entering the gated property and climbing a short (but admittedly steep) hill, you arrive to a private home with all the comforts you could ever want. Far and away my best Airbnb experience to date and am hoping to return back to Echo Park and Pete's home very soon.
