Gerald and Eva's unit is exactly as advertised. It's an open loft space that is completely detached from the main building. You enter using a keyless entry app that locks the door from your Smartphone which is great and less stressful than worrying over losing a key.
There is an L shaped sofa built into the wall in front of a television. There is a well stocked kitchen area with a dishwasher, dishes, ice, glassware and utensils. The bed is a queen size and quite comfortable. Last, the bathroom and laundry room are in the same space. The shower is spacious and clean and there was shampoo, conditioner, body wash and even lotion provided.
I visited for my husband's birthday. The space was perfect for the two of us - enough room so we weren't on top of one another and not so spacious that it didn't feel cozy.
The entire space is very new, very clean and very contemporary. It was a perfect weekend retreat.
In terms of neighborhood, it is tucked up into the hills in Silver Lake, a mile and a half to two miles walking distance from the Sunset Junction. It's not a bad walk there but the walk home is a bit of an incline for the last two blocks. We easily got around on Sunday but foot (for the most part) and then grabbing a Lyft to take us home in the afternoon. For anyone planning on doing more exploring than just the immediate Silver Lake area I would do (as the host suggested) and rent a car.
In terms of communication Eva was amazing. She checked on regularly before the trip and during and provided amazing suggestions for coffee and restaurants - she even offered to personally make my husband a cappuccino when I told her that was his morning vice.
I would highly recommend the space to anyone looking for a great space in Los Angeles. Perfect for couples and I would say a small group of three or less as well.
