Shay’s place is astounding. Beautifully appointed and gorgeously designed. You can tell that he loves his home and wants you to enjoy it as much as he does. He's amazingly communicative and thinks of every comfort.
The location was perfect for us, as our son lives nearby in Silver Lake. It’s not hard to find street parking if you prefer not to use the garage sometimes - there are visitor parking passes provided.
Every high tech gadget you can think of (and many you never knew existed) is in the kitchen. The cappuccino machine! It was daunting at first but now I want one for home. I’ve been spoiled.
And I have to say something in defense of the Erewhon (high-priced health food store) across the street. Looking at previous reviews, people say to avoid shopping at Erewhon - but I loved having it there! It’s trivial to just pop across the street whenever you run out of coffee or milk. This was a huge plus in my opinion. Yes, it’s ridiculously expensive, but it's also amazingly convenient.
In summary, this was a great stay - I can't recommend it enough - and I expect we will be back. Shay, thanks so much for being such a great host!
