PROS: -Wow! This lodge is a like living in your own little cabin in the woods.
-Exceptionally clean. You could eat off the floor if you were so inclined.
- Cable TV and wireless works like a charm.
-The lighting fixtures and overhead lighting make the lodge seem magical.
-Very peaceful and quiet. It's up in the Silverlake hills and gets scarce traffic.
-The hills are perfect for night walks and burning calories with steep inclines. My dog and I both got a workout.

CONS: -No air conditioning. I don't know if an AC unit was taken out because it was February, but the temperature outside was in the 80's and the lodge got quite hot even with all the windows open.
-The bed is old and uncomfortable. The whole place is a throwback to old cabin times, but that doesn't mean the bed has to be old, too. Old spring mattress doesn't provide support. Needs to be upgraded.
-The couch needs to be upgraded, too. Past its prime.
-The owner sent me a separate contract that she wanted me to sign before my stay, which is not how Airbnb works. I refused to sign it and she seemed okay with me not signing, but being asked to sign a separate legal agreement made me uncomfortable.

Overall, this place was great and I'd recommend it to anybody visiting LA or anybody looking for an easy getaway weekend. Really clean and really great atmosphere.
