We stayed here for a weekend while I was in town for an art performance. We had two families with 4 kids under the age of 5 staying together at Carinne and Michael's place. The weekend was perfect! My wife and I recently moved out of LA so we know the area very well. This house exceeded our expectations! The view is worth it alone. They have an unobstructed view of the Hollywood sign and the surrounding area. The house is a classic Silverlake home with all of the vintage vibes without all of the problems that come along with an old house. The whole place felt comfortable and easy to slip right into. The rooms were spacious and our super laid-back yet very responsive and gracious hosts set up pack-n-plays in the rooms to accommodate our youngest "roomies." The kitchen had everything we needed from appliances to stocked spices. They even had baby bottles and kid utensils that really helped with our little ones. The kids room came complete with an entire library of children's books, toys, as well as a ready-to-use changing table...which was a game changer (pun intended). We spent the majority of our time in the absolutely amazing dining room/breakfast room with all of the windows and deck. We also utilized the outside patio/garden as well. Knowing this Silverlake hideout had such an impressive backyard really made the place special. The only word of caution is if you have a giant car. The streets are pretty narrow and the driveway parking can only accommodate oh-so-much car... That said, we had some pretty big SUVs and still made it fit . Nothing that the hosts did of course but something to keep in mind. We are used to those old curvy Silverlake streets but not everyone expects them when visiting LA. Our kids loved the house, we loved the house. I would recommend Carinne and Michael's place anytime and we will definitely book with them in the future. Thanks for a fantastic stay!
