Matthew's place was stylish and comfortable in a vintage fashion, and Matthew was a friendly host. The view of Silver Lake and downtown L.A. from the porch and patio was great, and we saw lots of birds and other wildlife. The kitchen was huge, and the bed was comfortable. The record player was fun to have (pulled out David Bowie and Sergio Mendes). The walk down to Sunset Blvd. is a little steep but manageable in about 6 minutes (going back up is more like 10). Overall it's a good place in a great central part of L.A.
