A great location to explore LA, walking distance (but a steep hill) to Silver Lake, and 15 minute $7 ubers to downtown. LA traffic means it's an hour or more to get to the beach. Parking was easy and plentiful outside on the street. The views from the end of the garden were great, and the views in the neighborhood are amazing as well thanks to that steep hill! The apartment is in the basement of Houston's house but has a separate entrance, and we met Houston's husband who was very friendly.
