Lauren's place is very comfortable, super clean, has great bedside lighting and a reading/sitting area with comfy barrel chairs. The kitchen and bathroom are very clean and well stocked. I would highly recommend staying here. They are lovely hosts and very communicative, responsive and helpful. This is now my A #1 place to stay when I come to visit my children. One cautionary note for anyone with orthopedic issues - Lucretia Ave is a steep hill (if you are planning on walking around); but of course much of Echo Park is like that - just wanted you to know.
