Karla’s and Nathan’s place can only be described as AMAZING. I was always a “West Sider”, but both their home and the area made my husband and I strongly consider moving to the Silver Lake area. Their house is located steps away from the main drag of Silver Lake and only a few blocks from Echo Park. Daily, my husband and I would run to the reservoir (about a mile away), grab coffee at one of the many artisan shops on the way back, work for the afternoon in their light-filled sunroom/office or in one of the multiple serene outdoor spaces, and then we would head back into town for dinner/drinks at one of plentiful amazing eateries.
Not only was the space impeccably decorated, equipped with all the necessities and more, and perfectly comfortable for us and our cats for a couple of months, but Karla and Nathan themselves were the greatest hosts. They have the kindest hearts and are so generous with their space and time. They gave us plenty of private space, but whenever we would see them, they would stop for a friendly chat. They had endless recommendations for things to do, places to eat, etc., and they were always up for grabbing a drink together. They truly want their guests to feel at home. They also have the CUTEST cat, Bobbi, who greeted us with friendly chirps and leg rubs every time we arrived back “home”. It is only fitting that he’s part of the family of the two nicest people we’ve ever met!
While my husband and I ended up moving to the West Side, Karla and Nathan’s home and Silver Lake will always have our hearts. If you’re looking for a place that feels like home, stay at Karla and Nathan’s.
