It's a cozy little house but really airy and private at the same time. Took advantage of the front and back porch. An easy walk to a dozen great little restaurants and coffee shops -- and about a mile and half to the reservoir for a morning run. Only downside was parking after 6-7 p.m. was a little trickier -- usually wound up 2 blocks away -- but otherwise it was a dream. If you are looking for a place to stay and explore Silverlake and Echo Park, this is perfectly situated.
