My husband and I had a great time staying in Austin and Barry's apartment in Silver Lake. If you're looking for a unique, affordable place to stay in the LA area, this is it. We were very comfortable and Barry was an excellent host!
Highlights:
-Location—a short drive to anywhere in LA and walking distance from many shops, restaurants, and cafes in Silver Lake. Ubers around the neighborhood were very affordable if you aren't up for walking (it is rather hilly so at 6 mos. pregnant, I really appreciated that!). Ability to park our rental car at the apt. was a major plus.
-Comfort—apartment was clean, cozy and beautiful. The bed and linens were super comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with beverages, coffee pods/creamers, etc. Bathroom had all the basic toiletries one could need, a hairdryer AND straightener!
-Host—Barry was such a thoughtful host. He was perfectly communicative throughout our stay. His detailed instructions made self check-in a breeze, he offered great tips for things to do and see around the neighborhood and LA, and was very easy to reach via text. He even texted us one day that it was chilly to make sure we were comfortable and tell us ways to make the place warmer.
Thanks again to Barry and Austin for sharing their gem of an apt. If we make it back to LA (hope so), we would love to stay here again!
