An authentic Bohemian Los Angeles hills experience, the kind Joni Mitchell or Jim Morrison or Graham Parsons might walk right into wearing a suede fringed jacket and moccasins. Private and secluded in the trees but airy, bright, and incredibly quiet — plus impeccably clean and tidy. All the details were seen to, down to coffee in the tin, fluffy towels on the rack, and a kind welcome note.

Open the double-hung windows and breathe in the hills, take a bottle of wine up to the private patio under a gorgeous pepper tree, or ramble around the hills and discover something great — down one side, you're at Sunset Junction, down the other in the heart of Silverlake.

This is the real deal. If you're into eclectic decor, funky light fixtures, and a great vibe, do yourself a favor and stay here.
