Maile and her family are probably some of the nicest and warm-hearted people I ever met. My flight had a delay so I showed up later than expected and Maile was there to assist with anything that I needed. Her and her family gave me suggestions of places to eat and were just very nice and accommodating. I felt very welcomed the whole time I was there.

As far as the place itself, It was just as described in the pictures. Nice kitchen with everything you need, DISH network on both TV's, comfortable bed, shelves and cabinets in the closet, and very nice bathroom, and very clean. The place was smaller than expected but overall the place was very nice. and I can't forget about the view from the balcony. That's the best part of the place if you ask me. To wake up to that view every morning and even going outside at night and seeing the landscape of L.A. was amazing. The neighborhood itself was very safe and convenient as well. Silverlake is very nice and lots of restaurants, shops, and bars within walking distance. If you plan on walking through the neighborhood, make sure you bring some exercise shoes as the house is up on a steep hill so me walking to Sunset Blvd and back, I was definitely getting some exercise in. With the steep hills in the neighborhood, there should be no excuse of nobody being in shape. lol Speaking of Sunset Blvd, again, it was right down the hill from the house so there is alot going on there.

There was this restaurant that I became a fan of which was the Sunset Junction. Not only do they have great food with reasonable prices, but great customer service. If you stay here, make sure you go eat at that restaurant.

I did have problems with the drain in the tub and sink but Maile and her husband did their best to fix it. Overall, this place was great. I would definitely stay here again. Maile and her family are very nice and you can tell, they are just good people in general. I would definitely recommend this place if you come to L.A. You're not far from Hollywood either. It's a straight shot down Sunset Blvd and not far from the freeway either if you decide to check out other areas of L.A. This was one of the best experiences I've had on a vacation and I hope to stay in touch with Maile because I will be coming back to L.A. but hopefully next time permanently as a resident.
