Hello!

Looking for a respectful, mature human or couple to sublet my 2 bedroom Echo Park home for July and August this summer, possibly into September. The house is set up as a 1 bedroom with a spacious office that can easily accommodate two workstations. This house is on a staircase so it’s not wheelchair accessible.

The location:
I absolutely love the privacy of this house. It’s very quiet, and is tucked away on a staircase in the Echo Park/Elysian Heights neighborhood. This means you have to be ok to go up or down a few flights of stairs to get to the house. The house is in the perfect part of Echo Park where you feel totally secluded yet you’re about a 5-10 minute walk to Valerie/Canyon Coffee/Cookbook Grocers, and about a 15-20 minute walk to Lassens Natural Foods. You’re also a 10 minute walk to Elysian Park where you can run or walk the trails, or picnic. There’s ample parking on the street and no street cleaning either.

The house:
The house is freestanding and set back from the staircase quite a bit. Since it’s on a hillside, there’s not much visibility into the neighbor’s homes either. All the neighbors are chill and kind people as well.

You enter the front door of the house into a mudroom, then a sizable living room with a couch, daybed, coffee table and TV. The bedroom is off to the left of the living room and is very cosy and quiet with a large closet and dresser. It faces the front yard. There’s a ceiling fan and an air purifier in there, as well as an AC vent.

The kitchen and dining area are in the middle of the home and have all you might need - modern fridge, Vitamix, Breville Espresso machine + grinder, Juicer, etc. The kitchen table accommodates about 6 people for dinner.

Moving through the kitchen towards the back of the home, there’s the bathroom which is pretty strightforward, with a tub for soaking.

The office/studio room is at the back of the house facing the backyard, and it gets a ton of light. I really like working there in the daytime. There’s a built in desk that has plenty of room for two people to work, and some bookshelves as well. From the office, there are French doors leading to the back porch with views of the DTLA skyline. There’s a table and benches on the porch and a small staircase you can descend to the ground level. There you’ll find a big Eucalyptus tree providing some shade, a built in concrete sitting area/bench, as well as some lounge chairs. The laundry is also outside and to the side of the house, so it’s not visible to the areas in which you hang out.

The amenities:
- Very private, quiet location
- Washer and Dryer
- Amazing view of the city
- Central AC
- High Speed Fiber Wifi
- Hardwood floors
- Yoga mat / weights

FYI - The price listed includes internet, trash, recycling, gas, and electric. This assumes the tenant will be reasonable with the AC during the hot months, as electric can vary widely. The tenant will also be responsible for taking the trash bins to the curb over one of the months they are there.
