Jooles's place is a charming escape in the hills of Echo Park: a cozy retreat on the top of a hill, secluded from the busy mean streets of Los Angeles. Jooles has brilliant taste. Her interior is comfortable and pleasing and the outside space is complete with pergola, string lights, and a leisurely dining area. There are a few steps to get to her place, which is both a. the price you pay for solitude and b. a way to re-frame your daily activity. In fact, my quads have never been stronger.
