Raquel was really friendly, helpful and quick to respond to us. Our plans changed just before arriving and Raquel was really helpful and easy going. The apartment is in a really lovely location, close to open space (beautiful Echo Park) and cute cafes. It's on a steep bit of hill, so if you have any mobility issues I would make sure that you have a car. A few steps away is a brilliant view of the Hollywood sign too! Highly recommended hosts!
