Fantastic little gem of a stay in a fantastic little gem of a neighborhood! If you want easy check-in, walkable surroundings (at least 3 amazing coffee shops nearby, ramen, delicious Taiwanese at Joy, a wealth of Latin eateries PLUS food trucks and music at night, not to mention small eclectic stores selling antiques or locally-made clothing) and a slightly more intimate snapshot of life in LA, Eduardo & Victoria's studio is the stay for you.
I was in town for a short vacation, got into LAX on a late flight, and that mattress was pure heaven after a long day of travel. It was also fairly hot (90s) while I was visiting and the AC unit made the studio a perfect refuge from the heat – I'd walk up to York to get a coffee or find lunch and after a bit would retreat to the studio so I could return to temperature. It's just as nice holing up in the studio as it is exploring the neighborhood! There's a full-length mirror next to the bed that gets natural lighting perfect for doing your makeup in, plus books and knickknacks to peruse while sitting in the hanging swing chair.
Eduardo & Victoria were also the loveliest people – the guidebook they've prepared has amazing advice for places to go both within Highland Park and in wider LA, and I also loved hearing their laughter very briefly through the door in the studio kitchen. I definitely recommend booking with them, and I'll definitely be back!
