We had a really fabulous experience in Aaron and Raquel's studio! The location was ideal - on a very quiet street in Echo Park where we slept like logs. However, it was also quite convenient to Elysian Park for hiking and very close to Sunset for easy transit. We had no problem finding free parking on the street just as the listing described, always within 2 minutes of the studio.

The studio was perfectly set up with the essentials - lot of pots, pans and utensils for cooking, along with kitchen staples like butter, olive oil, salt, pepper, sugar, a French press, etc. We bought breakfast food at the local Von's and cooked in every morning to save some money. We also appreciated the tea and the Brita filter in the fridge. Plentiful towels were provided in the large bathroom area as well. And maybe we just have a shitty apartment at home, but the water pressure was awesome!

The bed was firm but quite comfortable for two people. There were extra blankets provided if you were cold. Reading lights on either side of the bed was convenient and a nice touch.

There was a flat screen TV that had cable and HBO along with a pretty sweet sound system. Only drawback was that in the living room, we could hear people in the adjoining house talking at night quite clearly through the wall, but it wasn't a huge deal.

The outdoor areas in the front and back were fairly private and it was great to sit in the sunshine coming from Portland, OR. After a slight bobble where we had a hard time finding the lockbox, Aaron was immediately responsive to us and helped us figure it out. He was definitely available for any questions we had and checked in nicely several times throughout the weekend.

Would highly recommend this listing - it was quiet, private, safe, and felt quite exclusive to be up on the hill! We had a wonderful, romantic weekend there. Thank you, Aaron and Raquel!
