Furnished 1-bedroom, newly renovated, ideal for visiting faculty at USC, Occidental, CalArts, Pomona Colleges, Cal Tech

This tranquil one-bedroom apartment is perched on a quiet hill in Echo Park, an historic and vibrant area of Los Angeles. It occupies one half of a 1923 duplex that has been totally renovated inside and out. Furnished with mid-century and contemporary pieces, the apartment is an ideal retreat and great for entertaining.

Available May 2013, June 2013, July 2013 and August 2013. Monthly rent is $2,400 and includes wifi and all utilities. Security deposit is $500.

The apartment features an HDTV with Blueray/DVD player and Netflix, free WiFi throughout, a new Philips iPod dock, a full kitchen with marble counters, a barbeque, an herb garden, and shared garden spaces with native planting where you can enjoy outdoor meals year round. There are hardwood floors throughout, custom cherry cabinetry, warm and uniform lighting, and an efficient and quiet air conditioning and heating system.

This sunny, California Bungalow house was originally built for a silent film scriptwriter around 1923 and recently renovated. (Edendale, where most of the silent films were made, was located just down the hill.) The apartment is ideally located a few minutes away from Downtown LA and within easy commuting distance to many local campuses. Two blocks away is a particularly nice and vibrant stretch of Sunset Boulevard. Public transportation is nearby, as are highways 5, 2, 101, and 110.

The Echo Park neighborhood is really fantastic, with tons of great restaurants and nightlife. Within a two-block walk is the classy little wine bar, El Prado; the music venues The Echo and Echoplex; vegetarian and vegan restaurants Elf Café, Mohawk Bend, and Sage Café; coffee shops such as Chango Coffee, Fix, Stories Bookstore, and Downbeat Café. Cookbook, an excellent green grocer, is just down the hill and bakes bread daily. Also nearby is an assortment of excellent Mexican, Vietnamese, Italian, Thai, and French restaurants. Elysian Park, Echo Park Lake, and the Silver Lake Reservoir are all within walking distance.
