Kelly and her place are both fantastic. She is the model of the perfect AirBnB host. She stocked the house with all the kinds of things a traveler needs--and often forgets--when they first arrive some place (think coffee filters, paper towels and an iron) and was extremely helpful in answering questions and offering advice on things to do in the neighborhood. The apartment itself is spacious, has sweeping views and offers something a New Yorker like me almost forgot exists: a peaceful and perfectly quiet night's sleep. It's a stone's throw from the strip of shops and cafe on Echo Park Blvd as well as bars, a pharmacy, multiple convenience stores, trendy restaurants, and similar spots in nearby Silver Lake--not to mention a 10 min walk to hiking trails in Elysian Park. I was there for almost two weeks and found that without a car I could get to all the places I needed. AND I could stay there with my dog. Could not have been more satisfied.
