Sightseeing
Things to do:
You are a short walk away from Elysian park. If you head east on Baxter (a left as you head out of the building) you’ll hit the Baxter steps- among the longest set of steps in LA. When you hit the top, follow the road and you’ll find a trail head that takes you into Elysian park. The park is huge with loads of trails to explore.
Dodgers Stadium is very close. Almost walk-able, but driving might be easier if you can manage the traffic in the parking lot.
Echo Park Lake is a cute park just south of Sunset (down the hill from us).
We’re a quick drive to Chinatown, The Arts District, and Downtown LA. Lots of galleries, The Broad Museum, Disney Concert Hall, The Ahmanson Theater, Angels Flight, Bradbury Building, The Last Bookstore... and lots of good places to eat!
Also a quick drive to the Silverlake and Los Feliz neighborhoods. Shops, cafes, etc.!
