The openness of the living room and kitchen, with big windows was very pleasing and a perfect relaxation space for me, as I was in need of a vacation to decompress. I hope it was okay that I rented a $6 movie. The backyard upstairs patio was a bonus to have extra living space with a view. I loved my daily walks around the neighborhood, starting on Scott Street which looks a little like an alley, then onto Silver Lake Boulevard, walked around the lake and came back up the hidden stairs behind Botanica Restaurant, then winded my way back down to the rental home. The Miele appliances are my chosen appliances in my home; being a chef, I researched plenty of appliances and Miele is the best! The coffee maker was fun to use and it makes the best coffee.
