The location is walkable to a fabulous neighborhood full of interesting shops and restaurants. The Silverlake neighborhood is centrally and conveniently located near many interesting area attractions. The view from the house of the Griffith Observatory, Hollywood sign, and surrounding hillsides provides a sense of context within this vast metropolis. We loved the nooks and crannies of the varied terraced areas within the lovely backyard, and enjoyed the beautiful plantings and flowers and birdsong.

The house has plenty of space and privacy, and provides a peaceful retreat in the city. The historic value and beauty of the house has been well retained, yet modern conveniences such as high speed internet, washer and dryer, and a well stocked kitchen have been provided. There was plenty of convenient free street parking.

Despite the fact we didn't know one another, meeting Jennifer felt sort of as if we were catching up with a dear old friend. She is an exceptional hostess and communicator, and quickly made us feel comfortable and right at home. She was flexible about arrival and check-out, provided several useful tips about the area, was helpful with special requests, was clear and thorough in explaining details and yet friendly and easy going, setting a relaxing tone for our vacation. We greatly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this charming and beautiful home.
