We loved staying at the lodge in silverlake. The studio was quiet and private, in a residential area with plenty of parking. We felt like we were out of the city while there. But, we could also walk to bars, restaurants, and live music in half a mile to a mile. Sunset blvd is just down the (steep) hill. We loved that we could explore Los Angeles all day, and then enjoy night life in our own neighborhood. When we were tired, we stayed in and enjoyed the private patio. Gisele responded right away when an unavoidable issue happened in the lodge. They took care of it right away and were extremely accommodating. I definitely recommend the lodge.
