Dino was a fantastic host. He was always quick to respond, even while traveling abroad during my stay. The home is unlike any other I've experienced before. As the ad calls out, this place is not for everyone. But for those who it is for, they will cherish every last moment of their stay.
The experience is as close to living in the wilderness as you can get while simultaneously being in one of the largest, most vibrant cities in America. One moment, I'm sitting on the large porch, in total peace and quiet, looking out across the Silverlake Reservoir and the hills beyond. The next, I'm a 3 minute walk away, exploring that same reservoir. The next I'm on Sunset Blvd, eating great food, being in the midst of so much action.
The home itself is not luxurious, but it's extremely cozy and easy to find comfort in. The bed is extremely comfortable, not too soft, not too firm. The kitchen had everything I needed. And the porch. This entire place is all about the porch. It's incredible. The view is epic and it faces west so sunsets are spectacular. Every single night, without fail, the sunsets blew my mind. And from the porch, we had a front row seat.
The apartment does stay on the colder side, but Dino has ample space heaters to use if necessary (though I never had the need to plug one in).
I would live here forever if I could.
