We did not meet Donna in person, but her communication with us via text or email was just fine, which made our arrival and departure very smooth. She also provided us with some great recommendations around the neighborhood. Silver Lake is definitely a cool spot, and parking on a side street off Sunset BLVD. is quite easy. The best perk about Donna's place is the pool. My 8-year-old son was in heaven--having the run of the pool, which has a great slide and a diving board. We also loved both outdoor seating areas--very peaceful! Another thing we loved about Donna's place was its proximity to Universal and Griffith Park, and like I said before, the very close proximity to Sunset Blvd. We enjoyed a really nice dinner at Sunset Junction Coffee Shop (I highly recommend the AHI tuna) and a wonderful, hearty breakfast at Millie's Cafe--both on Sunset Blvd.
