Michael's place was exactly what we were looking for: great location, a warm and well-appointed environment, and excellent communication. We stayed for 2 months during the summer and it was the peaceful slice of Echo Park we'd been craving. Street parking was ample, the outdoor areas are expansive and well maintained —great for an evening cocktail as the sun sets (our little bichon loved all the yard space), and it's located close to the 101 freeway, so you can get just about anywhere in the area under 10 minutes. The unit itself was so cozy and cute. We spent many evenings in cooking in a really nice kitchen and settling down on a comfy couch. The bed was comfortable as well and the bathroom shower was roomy and well laid out. Overall, we had a great experience. Any concerns we expressed, Michael addressed almost immediately. I recommend the unit to anyone looking for an extended stay in a chill, awesome part of LA.
