This Airbnb is truly a hidden gem. The apartment is really stunning - more beautiful and bigger in person than the pictures show. It's an amazing old house, but the apartment is super modern and well maintained (they have a rainforest shower head!). The apartment is the bottom floor of the house and felt very tucked away and private. Because the house is built into a steep hill and set way back from the street, the level of the unit's windows are way above street level - we were able to leave them open, even at night.
The house has a high fence/hedge with a locking gate, but the neighborhood is so beautiful and calm that I would've felt totally safe without it. The neighborhood was really nice for taking little walks (so many beautiful houses) and you can walk down to Colorado Ave, which has some really nice restaurants and stuff.
I usually stay in Los Feliz or Silver Lake when I visit LA, so I was a little dubious about Eagle Rock, but it ending up seeming just as easy/fast to get everywhere. And it was so nice to come back to a beautiful, quiet neighborhood at the end of the day :)
And Mary was great! Super communicative - basically answered all my messages instantly. I definitely want to stay here again.
