This nice unit was exactly as shown in the pictures and was conveniently located on a narrow alley in Silver Lake. It was a converted suite below the hosts' house; therefore, as other posters described, we heard steps and other noises from 6:30 am on both days. It was expected and not a big deal for us. We did not meet the hosts, which I had a feeling was just the way they preferred, but did receive several reminders of their check in/out policies and house rules before and during our stay. I guess if you like to socialize with Airbnb hosts, then this would not be a good place for you. However, I would recommend this place for a quiet single or couple (particularly early risers) who just want a nice place to park in Silver Lake.
