Privacy and Charm in the Heart of Echo Park

I'm subletting my furnished 1BR/1BA apartment—a warm, art- and book-filled space with hardwood floors, original built-ins, great natural light, and a sweet, private porch with backyard and garden access.

Right between Elysian Park and Echo Park Lake, you'll be a block or three from Quarter Sheets, Canyon Coffee, Cookbook Market, Donna's, Little Fish, Bacetti, Honey Hi, Echo Park Farmer's Market, etc. Easy access to public transit, Elysian trailheads, and a 14-minute walk to Dodger Stadium.

The property is tucked just uphill from Sunset Blvd, offering the rare combination of walkable access to the neighborhood's best spots while maintaining a quiet, residential feel.

This space is ideal for a responsible person looking for a great deal, character, comfort, and all the essentials already in place.

Pricing
+ $2,600/month for short-term stays (under 3 months)
+ $2,500/month for leases 3+ months
+ $2,400/month for full 9-month term (August–May)

Studio Option: If you're able to commit to the full 9-month term but prefer a lower rate, I'm open to renting it as a studio for $2,200/month. In this case, most of my personal belongings would be stored in the bedroom, and you'd have full access to the living room, kitchen, patio, bathroom, and all amenities. The living room is 17'4" x 12'2" with a 5'4" x 2'4" alcove that can be converted into a closet.

I'll arrange for a neighbor to handle plant care, unless you’d like to do so for $60 a month.

This home is perfect for anyone needing a home base in LA—whether you're starting a new job or graduate program, transitioning between life chapters, in town for a creative project, or testing out this side of the city before making a longer commitment. The space has modern art prints, antique books, and weird family heirlooms—all of which we can adjust to make it feel perfectly suited to your stay.

Tell me a bit about yourself and the dates you're looking for. Happy to answer any questions or show the space in person or via video chat.

About This Lister

I am a TV writer (she/her) moving to NYC for 9 months for a graduate school program. I will be your contact. I'm not a neat freak and want to find someone who will enjoy this space. I am friendly and prefer clear communication.
