20 minute walk from the oh-so-famous Sunset Junction (search it online)--home to trendy shops/eateries, typically what people call "hipsters", and overall good looking people. Beautiful neighborhood walks, Farmers Market on Tuesday and Saturdays, and good people watching.
Our most favorite local attraction is Echo Park Lake. Go and search images of it right now... gorgeous yes?! Melissa and I usually lounge there on the eastern grassy slope as we people watch and read+write. A very chill spot.
Other Stuff
We don't do flat sheets or comforters. They increase laundry loads and overall use up a lot of water. We have a TON of blankets. Feel free to use 2 or 3. They are easy to wash.
If you don't like hipsters and aspiring actor/entertainer types, this area isn't for you =)

- RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD: understand that every building around this house has bedrooms facing you and a human sleeping in that room. DON'T BE LOUD OUTSIDE AT NIGHT. If you are secretly trying to throw an event, a neighbor will call me at any time of the night. I'll have to go over there in my pjs and kick you out–because I'm 3 blocks away. Don't waste all of our time.
- NO SMOKING INSIDE. If next guests complain of smoke or if we find signs of smoking, OR if we find evidence that smoke alarms have been tampered with, you agree that we will take $300 from your deposit.
- Same day, unreviewed users and/or locals: we will need to know more about you. If you instant book, you understand we reserve the right to check ID/passport upon arrival or via text, visit daily/nightly and meet you upon check in our we will need to cancel your reservation. If you do not respond to our questions when you book, just give one word responses, are communicating strangely and refuse to tell us about yourself, we will need to cancel based on mistrust.

Zack Z. very much enjoys the arts–music especially. On the off time he (tries) to play guitar and puts his six years of choir and music theory into use. Aside from working online in the perpetually changing internet scene, Zack also works closely with his wife on artistic projects that will hopefully be the foundation of their traveling dreams together.
Melissa M. is the epitome of hip and fresh. A printmaker at heart, she thrives on the tactile that is paper. Together with this love of paper, and skills attained, she creates handmade artists books, prints, and stationery that evoke a thoughtful cuteness.
Mel and Zack are a unique couple: met in high school, best friends for years, sharers of tragedy and fun times, singers of many a song, married immediately and always working on a mystery since then.
The ultimate goal for them (and most 9 to 5'ers) is to make a living off doing what they both love.
They hope to travel the world for extended periods of time and spread joy the only way they know how: funky dancing, loud singing, nonstop comedy and making pretty things.
OUR LISTINGS
They are mostly all in the hippest part of Los Angeles, a place called Silver Lake (Northeast of Downtown). Homeplace of Beck, Elliott Smith, moustaches, The Silver Lake Reservoir, and heck, that dork pretty boy Ryan Gosling lives here too.
