This is a recently remodeled two room efficiency with relatively new appliances, fixtures, and hvac. It's done up in a "salt and pepper" style with retro touches. Every thing was clean and the bed was comfortable. There is a bedroom that is connected to the kitchen/dining area through a doorless entry. Outside there is a good sized porch that overlooks a park/recreation area with a running track and basketball hoops. The bathroom is to the side of the porch on the outside so one has to exit the interior living area to get there. At first it felt unusual but after a day or so it was no big deal. Kari thoughtfully provided robes and slippers for two. We visited during a heat wave (high 90's and up to 117 in the valley) and the a/c unit was essential and greatly appreciated. In fact because the original place we booked had no a/c we were lucky that Kari could quickly accommodate us. She was an excellent host and upon check in made sure that we had everything we needed including coffee for brewing and half and half. The Silverlake consumer area is probably in walking distance but with the heat didn't try it. The only recommendation is that the unit needs comfortable seating to kick back, put one's feet up, and relax.
