Inside the constructible universe, every hereditarily countable set appears in a countable level of the constructible hierarchy. Take a countable elementary substructure of a sufficiently large Lη​ containing its transitive closure pointwise. The condensation lemma for the constructible universe identifies the collapse with Lβ​ for countable β, and the collapse fixes the original set. Conversely, a countable-indexed level is countable inside the constructible universe.
