Book this place! The photos in the listing don't do it justice - the house is astonishingly eclectic, with a story as interesting it's architecture and art (definitely ask Al to give you the background). The house is spacious, with a lot of really great outdoor space (essential for any time spent in California) - the front courtyard is particularly cozy. Location-wise, the house is nestled nicely in Silverlake, within walking distance to bars/restaurants, and only about five minutes to the 101. Al & Leslie are great hosts (super chill) & their on-site unit is elegantly built into the property (didn't even notice they were there). Look forward to booking again in the future!
