I have stayed in a couple of Phoebe's properties, and the second I open the door to her places I always wish I was staying longer!
Everything about the Bigger Little Villa is fantastic. The location couldn't be more ideal; half a block up from Echo Park Ave and the lovely Cookbook (for carefully curated groceries and delicious prepared food), and very easy walking distance from many restaurants and bars.
The little veranda has great views and morning sunlight and is a perfect spot for coffee or breakfast (Pheobe has thoughtfully provided a french press coffee pot - just one teeny feature of the well appointed kitchen), the bed is SO comfy and the sheets are dreamy (I arrived jetlagged from a trip to Asia and the crazily comfortable bed was much appreciated), and street parking is plentiful, safe and easy.
The apartment is decorated in such a way that it is very personal and special and beautiful, but also airy and CLEAN and spacious enough that it feels like you as a guest belong there and not like you are staying in someones apartment.
Phoebe is just great; she is helpful, interesting, prompt, reliable, accommodating and kind, and her creativity and great taste are evident in every corner of the apartment!
I highly recommend the Bigger Little Villa and I can't wait to go back!
