Oren and Kara could not have been better Airbnb hosts. Throughout our 5-day visit they were incredibly helpful with suggestions on popular destinations to visit and restaurants to try. Their guesthouse was perfect for us – clean, spacious, and well appointed with thoughtful touches such as a small basket of hand towels in the bathroom for makeup removal and handy items such as scissors and tape. They even furnished DVDs of movies and TV shows (in case LA doesn’t have enough entertainment for you!) Their Silver Lake location provides easy access to several of the city’s ethnic neighborhoods, DTLA, and Hollywood. Silver Lake itself has plenty to offer with vintage shops, cafes, restaurants, etc. Most important, Oren and Kara were just lovely hosts. In our comings and goings we would frequently stop in their side yard to chat with them about our impressions of the city, discuss upcoming plans, and more generally talk about life in LA and Washington DC (our home town). They were a delight.
