What an incredible find! If you are looking for an experience that's more like an oasis, with incredible hosts and easy access to great cafes and restaurants, this is your spot!! Everything about my experience was amazing: the seamless check-in/out, fast and friendly communications from Lauren and Paul, decor and amenities of the bungalow itself, and the local food/coffee scene. I was welcomed with a hand-written note and a bottle of Rose—what a thoughtful welcome, especially before a busy work week!
While settling in, I discovered bits of joy and thoughtful touches scattered throughout the space, and was delighted to be provided the comfort of fresh coffee—Intelligensia beans and a grinder—plus quality teas each day. I spent some extra time relaxing in the cocoon chair with some records playing, or working on the sweet little kitchen table.
Outside the bungalow is a great little yard with a grill and lounge area — a must-use if you are keen to BBQ, or just enjoy relaxing outside! The neighborhood itself is residential, which adds to the laid back vibe of your experience. I had a great time exploring the local coffee and food scene of Silverlake—you are at no shortage of incredible options, and the provided recommendations were spot on! Parking was fair. Around the bungalow I usually found a spot on the same street or just around the corner. Other areas of town required paid meters or a garage (garages are VERY expensive, so consider using a car-hire for less) Otherwise, I had no problem getting around LA, aside from expected traffic.
I had a wonderful stay and look forward to returning in the future! Thank you, Lauren and Paul!
