Larissa’s place is flat out amazing in every way. The first thing I was blown away by was the view of the silver lake reservoir from the bedroom. The house sits up on a hill of a quiet street but is only blocks away from the path around the reservoir which is the coolest place to walk or run around. Lamill coffee shop and some great restaurants are also a very nearby walk away, down through the charming neighborhood and some hidden stairways and pedestrian paths.
The room itself was very stylish but didn’t sacrifice comfort. The bed was great and I slept like a baby. Windows offered a lot of light, though if you want to sleep in the blinds are sufficiently darkening. I loved having access to the kitchenette where I could prepare coffee and simple breakfasts. Such a unique and effective use of that space. Not that I needed it, but the walk-in closet was also a nice amenity. It was good to have the option of throwing my luggage and clothes in there to keep the bedroom feeling open clean.
The bathroom deserves its own paragraph because it is easily the most incredible bathroom I’ve been in! The walk in shower is HUGE! The hidden medicine cabinet behind the mirror and ample storage made it easy to use. Even the toilet was so cool! No tank, just a floating toilet seat attached directly to the wall. So rad. Visually it is stunning, the geometric green tile, marble counter and tiles, and bronze fixtures all go together beautifully.
On top of that, Larissa and Andrea were incredible hosts! They were easy to communicate with and naturally hospitable. I’ll be back again for sure!
