Eric's cottage was exactly what we hoped for in our first Airbnb experience. My wife and I were in LA visiting our son, who lives in Echo Park, and this was a 5-minute drive away. I stayed there a total of 10 days for work and my wife joined me for the last three nights.
The large room under the main house had recently been redone with a sleek, modern look and new furniture, including a comfortable queen-sized bed, sofa, desk and dining table. The bathroom, too, has been remodeled with nice tile and new fittings.
We had coffee in the mornings sitting on the outside patio, under the big avocado tree.
Not only was the apartment perfect for us, but we quickly learned that it's dedicated off-road parking spot was a lifesaver. Parking on the street can be a nightmare in this part of LA.
Eric and Hector were friendly and informative, with tips about local restaurants. Most mornings, we walked over to the Silver Lake Reservoir and up the hilly streets, some of which are connected by stairs.
I highly recommend staying here.
