Our stay in this charming old soul home in Silverlake was truly magical. From the moment we walked into the enclosed front porch until we discovered the back patios and tree house we were enchanted. The tree house goes up and up and up into a stately old tree full of knobs and twists and turns. At each level there are chairs as well as majestic views of Los Angeles. It is the perfect breakfast or meditation spot. The interior spaces of this lovely home are full of interesting artifacts, books and vintage charm, such as the coved blue ceiling in the dining area. We also enjoyed walking the neighborhood in the early morning—lots of hills to climb and interesting homes and landscaping to look at. Finally, Sam is so thoughtful in all of his attention to detail—a few games, vintage books and magazines, a delightful little tv room. The kitchen was stocked with some goodies. Thank you, Sam, for letting travelers experience such an off-the-beaten-path gem in the middle of LA. -Maggie and Julie
