The house is beautiful, just as pictured. It has a great open layout, clean lines and is stocked with everything you need for a short stay in LA. The location is up in the hills of Silver Lake on a lovely windy road. The Glendale Freeway runs down below a few blocks over from the house. You can't really see it but you can hear the cars even with the doors and windows closed. Coming from New York it wasn’t a big deal but it was unexpected. Ruby was great. Invisible in the guesthouse but quick to respond when we needed anything. Unfortunately, we needed her quite a bit one day, as there was some sort of gas leak in the neighborhood, which forced the gas company to cut the gas to the entire block. It left us without heat or hot water for about twelve hours. But Ruby was on the case immediately, offering to provide us with space heaters, reduced rates and even access to her home next door! When she learned that the gas company had fixed the problem but wasn’t coming back until the next afternoon to restore everyone’s gas, she hired an independent contractor to come out and turn the gas back on, saving what would have otherwise been a horrible experience. Thanks again, Ruby. You and your house rock!
