Cool little place, with parking right at your private entrance! And Eric is a very decent guy.
All of the positive reviews are accurate. I will just add that staying at Eric's place puts you in one of L.A. more interesting neighborhoods, with hip people, restaurants, bars, etc.
I got around by bicycle, which is the way to go. For one thing, you can get to DTLA easily. Just down Sunset and up Grand lands you at the top of Bunker Hill in less than 30 minutes. You could bike from Eric's place to the Griffith Observatory and the Hollywood Sign! You could bike from Eric's place to a Dodgers game! If all else fails you could tool around Silver Lake and Los Feliz and find a new taco joint! Welcome to L.A.
