The old saying goes you can't please all of the people all of the time. That is completely untrue when it comes to Darrell's Deluxe Garden Cottage in Silver Lake! All five friends in my party were blown away by the rental unit's layout, design, decor, outdoor space and privacy. A real jewel.

Another old saying is location, location, location. Now this is a saying that applies in this case as Silver Lake is one of the best, if not the best, neighbourhood in L.A. Even if you head to the beach, to Hollywood, to Orange County, wherever, during the day it is always nice to come "home" to Silver Lake, where you can grab dinner or drinks at any number of cool spots, from Cafe Stella to the Thirsty Crow - all of which are only a short walk/drive from the Garden Cottage.

Great place, great family (including super friendly dog) - would totally stay with Darrell again.
