I stayed at Phoebe's Bigger Little Villa for nearly 2 weeks in June while in LA on business. The apartment was great, spacious and uncluttered. It has great views from the little patio area outside the kitchen doors which was great for chilling out after work, The location is great as well it is less than 10 minutes walk from Sunset where you can get a number of buses going downtown or in the other direction heading towards the coast (it is less than 10 minutes bus travel into downtown). Echo Park itself is one of the most interesting places to stay in LA with loads of eating options within 10 minutes walk and some less than 5.
Phoebe was a great host and very responsive.There was a slight glitch with the wifi when I arrived (through no fault of Phoebe's) but she made sure it was fixed as soon as possible. Would definitely stay again.
