Perfect little place in Silverlake! Carol is the most welcoming host you could ask for and her place is equally as charming. The room is spacious with plenty of space to keep your belongings if you are like me and didn't travel light. You have full use of the kitchen if you are looking to save some money and cook at "home". The location is great; just tucked up into a neighborhood a few streets from the main boulevard. Because it is a little tucked away, I felt very safe and street parking was never an issue. I never parked more than half a small block away. I also got home past midnight most nights and never felt unsafe walking to the house as a young woman. Carol's place is walking distance to a Whole Foods, a CVS, and several restaurants and coffee shops. It is also only a couple blocks from the Silverlake Reservoir, which is a great place to go for a run or a leisurely walk. I could not recommend this place more highly. I used this place as a stepping stone to move to LA, and and what a perfect introduction to LA this place was. If the place itself wasn't enough, Carol is the most interesting, funny, and accommodating host. If you want a good story, just pull up a seat at the dinner table. I miss this place (and Carol) already!
