We found this private, cozy but spacious Craftsman style cottage perfect for our week's stay in Los Angeles. It is meticulously clean, with a comfortable bed and linens, a full bath, large shower, fabulous kitchen, comfy seating, and beautiful landscape oil paintings on the walls. The cottage is set back off the street in a private little garden with off-street parking. It is a block or two from coffee, juice bar and one of the best curated groceries I've seen anywhere. It is also just a block from the trail into Elysian Park, which offers views of snow-capped mountains between the palm trees while you stroll or run. We like to hike and walk and so found exploring Echo Park by foot highly enjoyable, and great exercise as there are lots of hills and stairs to climb while one takes in the diverse architectural styles. Scott, the host makes it all effortless. He responds immediately to any requests and respects your privacy completely. We found this a perfect location, with easy access to Sunset Blvd, all of east LA, the Arts District and Downtown. We definitely recommend this place and I'm sure will stay here again.
