A clean budget stay in a safe neighborhood. We needed a place last minute and paid more than I would have liked for this place, but the space itself is clean and bright, and Deborah and her staff were so helpful and great by letting us check in a little early. Check-in was a breeze.
One of the only concerns I had was the bed in this room; the bed is clearly sunken in the center, and we were concerned that it would break during our stay. (Mind you, we're just two friends sharing a bed, too, and not doing anything on it!) Also, please note that this Airbnb allows pets. While it's clean with a hardwood floor, the room has a lingering smell of pets, which becomes less noticeable after the initial entrance. I'm allergic to animals but ended up having no problems staying here.
While there's a living room heater and a personal space heater in your room, the hallway and bathroom were icy cold, but I don't think LA is normally so cold.
The place shows age but is clean with amenities. Free tea was great. There's a computer and printer you can use, and living room has plenty of comfortable spaces to chill. Netflix. Shared bathroom was nice and tidy. Wifi solid.
Echo Park is located on a bunch of hills, and street parking is entertaining. If you're driving a standard, the hill might be a little tricky to park on if you're not well versed in it.
