Ben's place was perfect for a crash pad while checking out the Silverlake/Echo Park area. His house literally sits right off Sunset, where you have tons of restaurants, shops, and bars. The bedroom, bathroom, and common area were all clean upon entry. Check-in was super simple. When we arrive Brodie, the very friendly poodle greeted us. We loved the pup! If you're not a fan of dogs, make sure you let them know beforehand so they can keep him out your way. I would definitely book this spot again if I ever needed to stay a few nights in the area. Since we are in the middle of a pandemic, most of the businesses in the area are either not open or only do outdoor dining/drinking. Outdoor spaces in LA are so prevalent that we didn't mind it. Ben required us to wear masks in the commons spaces and when we came back one evening he was wearing a mask while in the living room as well, we really appreciated the effort and felt safe. Thanks for hosting us, Ben!
