Donald’s apartment worked out well for us as we moved our daughter into USC (which was about a 20 minute drive away). He was a warm and very accommodating host as we had some special needs. He does a great job communicating and always got back to me quickly. The beds were comfortable, good shower, plenty of towels and cooking supplies. The back deck and his gardens are lovely. We enjoyed seeing the dogs each day and they came to us for scratches as soon as they got to know us. The apartment has Amazon Echos spread around so you can turn on lights or as it questions. There is also a computer, but we didn’t use it. If you have a car, please note it is parallel parking. His street is quite narrow but Echo Park Ave is only one house away and has easier street parking. I also highly recommend following Donald’s driving instructions. He’s not joking about twisting roads with blind turns but worth it for the great views from the neighborhood.
We felt very central and took advantage of being in the area to eat at restaurants in Frogtown, Silver Lake, Los Feliz and downtown - all within 10-20 minutes drive.
