My stay with Chris (Carole was out of town for my stay) was wonderful and made my visit to Los Angeles very enjoyable. The place is really well setup for guests to come and go as they please and Chris was very welcoming. He was able to show me all of the things to see and do in the area as well as some of the more popular sites in LA. The room is very clean, comfortable, and quiet with its own bathroom, wardrobe, and kitchenette. I was there for a few days but could easily have settled in for longer as it felt like I had my very own place overlooking Silverlake. The view from the room is incredible and allows a perfect retreat at the end of the day to unwind. The house and garden is beautifully renovated. The location is great as it is very easy to wander down to the coffee shop and diner for breakfast and quite close to the Griffith Observatory as well as Echo Park and Sunset Boulevarde. As an architect I was thrilled to see some of wonderful local highlights in the immediate area, which Chris was keen to point out. This is definitely something which would not have happened at a regular hotel! I had rented a car and was able to use their off street parking easily. Both Chris and Carole made sure to contact me close to my arrival and it was easy to locate, which was comforting as a foreign visitor. This place is highly recommended and I would definitely return.
