Can not recommend this area and the Little Villa Apartment highly enough! It is an unbeatable place to stay in LA and Phoebe is a wonderful host.

The view from the balcony is stunning - beautiful LA sunsets and shooting stars!

The location is really fantastic - 5min walk to Echo Park lake, with various cafes, restaurants, bars, shops, yoga etc in between. The neighbourhood is really quiet and homely, yet you can see downtown from the window.

There is a fantastic cafe right at the bottom of the street and there is a really great Lassens grocery store one block away. The neighbourhood is totally walkable and highly accessible to other nearby neighbourhoods such as Silverlake, Highland Park and Los Feliz by Uber or car.
