The Tangerine Dreamroom is truly a dream--located in the heart of Echo Park, in close proximity to the conference that I was attending downtown, and featuring a hot tub and rooftop deck for unwinding after a long day. The neighborhood was perfect for exploring--plenty of unique shops and restaurants, all right next to the property. I didn't get to meet Rayana, but Andrew was very friendly and made it a point to welcome me and the other guests who were staying. He took time out of his day to hang out with us and show us the neighborhood too. Their adorable dog (Roxie?) is a cutie too and made us feel right at home. The Tangerine Dreamroom strikes a great balance between privacy and friendliness--there is privacy if and when you want it, but people to talk to when you want some social interaction. Overall a great experience and would stay there again.
