The Quiet Canyon of Echo Park

People always comment that this area is ‘SO Quiet’.
If that doesn’t appeal to you DON’T BOOK TO STAY HERE.
Why is this area so quiet?

This part of Echo Park – 1 mile north of Sunset Boulevard is in the Quiet Canyon where loud noises Echo. Example: slam a door or clap your hands together. You can hear the sound bounce back to you from Miles away. This is what makes Echo Park a community. Unlike most places in the big city, people here say “Hello”. The peace of Echo Park is a communal effort. We want to thank you for not shouting, talking loud outside after dark or slamming doors. We all greatly appreciate the effort.

About the Owners

Before I started managing furnished rentals I was a set painter in the film industry. While working in 'The Biz' I was exposed to brilliant design and developed a style of my own. Even so, when I took on the task of remodeling and furnishing all 5 apartments, I still needed help. This I got from my mom: Emmy Award winning Production Designer, Kathleen B. Cooper.

Events/Parties

As a rule, we welcome our guests to have friends over. All we ask is that you not disturb our other guests or our neighbors.

WiFi

Our wifi network is shared with 5 apartments and visible to our neighbors... And though we change the passcode often we still guarentee it's secure. If you are planning on using Our network for any online purchases or banking: here's a tip: bring a router Connect your router to our router. Put your password on Your router. In settings: Hide your network. Now you have secured wifi for your apartment that only you can see. All this may sound complicated - it's really not. Please, let me know if you need help.
