We have spent almost 2 months in this lovely bungalow and have appreciated this place so much!! Eric was a very good host and we have been sad to leave!!
Here is my honest review with the good and « less good » points.
Good points:
- The situation is perfect! Near Silver Lake, Echo Park, the 101 Highway, only 15min from WeHo. Near restaurants, coffees, even walkable ones!
- Safe neighborhood
- The private parking spot right behind the bungalow is a real advantage and we have appreciated that SO much!
- Kate, the neighbor (her house share a wall with the bungalow) is super kind and very helpful if needed!
- The private terrace is big and very, very nice!! A great place to eat or work/read/yoga for exemple under the sun!
- The fridge and freezer are big! That’s fantastic if you stay for a long time and love to cook!
- Yes the bungalow is pretty small but it’s not annoying. We felt home very quickly and it’s a very nice place to stay!
- Also it is located inside a courtyard, with trees and beautiful bougainvilleas. We loved it!!!! ♥️
- The bungalow inside (well also outside!) looks fresh and renovated!
Less good:
- When we have arrived, we had to spend 2 hours to clean the Airbnb which was not well cleaned unfortunately. But we told it to Eric and he was very nice and apologized for it, saying it’s usually clean. Maybe the person who cleaned had less time that time… I don’t know.
- There is no mirror apart a little one in the bathroom. If you stay for more than a few days, a big mirror would be very helpful daily 😅
- There is a computer screen but the connections are so old that it’s nearly impossible to plug it on computers which have less than 10 years. So no TV, and no really computer screen to plug Netflix or phone on.
- The oven doesn’t completely work. Only the electric resistance below works. Not the above one. But we could use it and it was finally okay for almost everything we have cooked.
- We have discovered that this neighborhood like to party. It wasn’t rare to hear neighbors around talking, laughing and shouting in their garden at 1 or 2 am. Because the walls of the bungalow are thin, you can literally hear them like if they were in your own garden or apartment. Can be annoying sometimes.
- We would have appreciated some basics like a hair dryer specially for long stays, but we know that it’s a real + and not something which has to be provided :)
Despite of these « less good points », we recommend this Airbnb! Eric was very nice and reactive to the questions we could have! Very good host! And we felt sad the day we have left this charming bungalow!
You’ll definitely have a great and safe time here!!
