Russell's space is a delightful retreat for one or two people. It is an added bonus to have outside space where you can sit and read, have wine or tea and catch the cool breezes that seem to magically blow in Silver Lake and Echo Park. His recommendations for restaurants within walking distance were excellent and much appreciated. One thing to know is that there is a lot available in walking distance but be ready to walk up and down hills. This is the San Francisco of LA. We'd stay here again any time we are in LA.
