I want to thank John for such an amazing stay in Silverlake and I hope to return there again very soon. Everything was as discussed and presented but actually the accommodation and location offer a lot more that is not noted too. The apartment is big and has been dressed beautifully so that you feel you are in a very comfortable but design based home. There is everything you need for a recreational family holiday or a business stay. One of the bedrooms even has a desk/office set up which was great to work from while my friend relaxed in the living room. There are two good sized bedrooms with large beds for comfort. The kitchen has a separate eating area and then you also have a more formal dining room set up too. The long comfy sofa also led to the odd unexpected nap and there are two TVs so options for split viewing choices pending the size/type of party staying. The amount of rooms allows for folks to hang out together in the large living room or else to find some separate quiet time too. The overall location was outstanding. We had breakfast on the back balcony looking out to Griffiths Observatory and the Hollywood sign. Dinner was on the front balcony overlooking the night lights of DTLA. The area is set away from any busy roads but the key Sunset Junction is a short 15 minutes walk away with a full strip of shops, bars and restaurants. Coffee wise the fab Lamill is ten minutes away and then in the other direction you have Dinosaur and Intelligentsia. Hidden behind the later is the most amazing cheese/wine store! There is a wonderful farmers market at the weekend on Sunset and also many vintage and eclectic stores too. I have stayed in LA many times before in Santa Monica, Venice and also one other part of Sunset. This was by far my favourite. The area is residential in that you are surrounded by various types of beautiful homes and local people who are friendly and approachable. The location is ideal for travel to many locations incl. major freeways and interstate so getting to San Fran and Joshua Tree National Park is very accessible without having to cross the central traffic gridlock of LA. This also worked out better for my meetings as I was not blocked on the westside as often happens.
Last but not least. John was extremely kind and friendly, helpful to a fault and very fast to respond and assist. He is an amazing host and honestly cares about your stay and your time in LA. So again, thank you John from our small group!
