We absolutely loved staying at Sara’s place. Much bigger than we anticipated, especially for an LA apt. Echo Park is one of our favorite communities in Los Angeles it’s very artsy, several cute cocktail bars and lots of good food. Sara was a great host! We ended up staying there with our dogs for 5 months and really enjoyed our time. It is close to sunset so you will hear a little traffic but it wasn’t a bother for us because we understood LA is a busy and somewhat loud city and having a fan in the apt really helped with unwanted noise. We had absolutely no problem with street parking either, unless there is a dodgers game, but Sara was always very helpful and even allowed us to park in her driveway if necessary! If you like outdoor spaces you will LOVE the back patio. Our dogs had so much room to run around- which is a huge plus! We would definitely stay here again.
