Echo Park Gem!
First and foremost, Marilyn responds promptly and goes above and beyond! I had some issues with Spirit airlines and she was very accommodating in helping us navigate that difficult situation, because it was unclear if we would need another nights stay. She made us feel very taken care of. We highly appreciate it, thank again Marilyn!
The location is surrounded by great restaurant options, a Walgreens and a grocery store only about a 5 min walk. We highly recommend “Sticky Rice” and “Rodeo Mexican grill” for local eats. There is also a near by tattoo shop if your interested which I highly recommend for incredible work-specifically a well known and local tattoo artist Jesse Jaramillo (IG: pinche_kid). Theres so many cute local shops and my favorite jewelry shop in LA, The Raven (IG: ravenapothecary) both the shop owner and her assistant are incredibly talented and fun to talk to. I can’t stress how close by everything is and you can take a stroll through the lively and fun neighborhood and feel safe as well. Last but not least, Echo park is literally a 10min or less walk from the Air B&B. If you have not heard or seen Echo park a quick google search will show you how stunning this park is. You can rent and ride the swan boats in the big pond or just sit around enjoy the weather and scenery.
The Air B&B itself has everything you need, upon arriving it was very clean and included the necessary amenities. I personally loved the decor and touches in the space, we felt very cozy. The bedding and couches were very comfortable and we slept great. Tv allows you to long into your streaming accounts for entertainment. The front and back entrance to the building is locked at all time. It’s an apartment building so there’s going to be nearby neighbors you may cross in the hallway or possibly hear from time to time. However nothing out of the ordinary everyone is very respectful and did not experience any noise disturbances or anything of that sort. Yes the parking is a bit tricky, but once you understand most parking let’s you park overnight after 8pm. However at 8 am you do need to move your vehicle and be mindful of the max 2hour. We did move the car occasionally in the day or kept an eye on it but it was not a bother and like I said once you figure it out you will not have issues. Since the Air B&B is very close to the main streets it comes with the territory so personally it was not a deal breaker.
We highly recommend this Air B&B and if I’m ever back in Echo park I would definitely book here no hesitation! We had a wonderful and relaxing stay and felt like Echo park locals for the weekend! (:
