We spent more than a week in Austin's beautiful house during Easter holidays and we totally enjoyed it.
Perfect location in a quiet enclave in the lively side of Silver Lake, close to the Sunset Junction and its nice bars, restaurants and shops (reachable on foot!). Metro and bus stops in walkable distance. Since in Los Angeles it's almost impossible not to go around by car, the private car park next to the entrance gate is very convenient.
The house is surrounded by a lush terraced garden with a fountain, a haven of rest in the heart of the huge metropolis: you'll wake up to the bird call, spotting squirrels outside the windows.
Inside it's a spectacular overwhelming display of bizarre ornaments, art photos and works of art, and plenty of colors and light: a very tasteful version of a kitsch interior. Besides that, everything is very comfortable and practical. Big and bright living room with plenty of seats to relax and enjoy the great view; cosy bathroom with bathtub; well equipped kitchen and, in the small and very quiet bedroom, a high (!!) and comfortable double bed (you can jump on it just from one side). Finally, a delicious private patio.
Barry and Austin have always been helpful, prompt and present before and during our stay.
We would just love to be back there!
