My husband and I stayed at Prett’s place for 2.5 months. We enjoyed our stay and have made friends with Prett’s family members. They are very warm and welcoming, always around to say Hi and are very, very friendly.
The highlight of this listing has got to be the location. It is right smack in the best parts of Silverlake. Husband and I didn’t have a car for a few days but we had so much fun just walking around Silverlake. There is a supermarket just a 15 minute walk away, tons of food and definitely good, good coffee.
My favorite spot would be the small little nook outside the back door that has a beautiful view of the sunrise. It is so serene in the morning and a cute spot to just sit and relax with a bottle of wine in the afternoon.
The TVs in both the living room and bedroom are great additions. Everything you need for a comfortable stay is provided. The gated parking = GREAT!
With every good experience, I believe in stating out the things I would quickly take note of, although these may not be dealbreakers for everyone. Prett was very keen to making your stay the best possible. These are what I noticed:
- It is not very quiet (when we stayed, there were neighbors renovating their homes, construction at the house, and also helicopters almost every night. It goes on pretty often during weekends. just overall a much noisier place than what I am used to.)
- Cleanliness was an issue. I was told that Prett used a different company to clean the house before our check in but we were greeted with dirty floors, and dusty/dirty kitchen appliances. She did offer for the cleaners to come again but then we had already unpacked. We ended up deep cleaning the place ourselves.
- The furnitures, kitchen appliances were pretty outdated or low quality for me. The bed creaks with every movement. I hope this will be changed. There are also sharp corners all around the house, especially in the kitchen.
With that being said, even though these were issues for me, I would still come back because I had adjusted well after all those issues were solved/accepted. I did have a great time making friends with Monster (the family dog) and Zak, they were really sweet. I will miss this place.
