This was my first trip to LA and Claudette's space in Silver Lake was the perfect place for me to stay. I was in the area for business and then took a few days off to explore. I stayed for 4 nights, it was a beautiful space for relaxing and experiencing what LA has to offer. The space is tastefully decorated, which I appreciated as a designer myself, and having the private entrance was nice so as not to disturb anyone while I came and went. Her house is within walking distance to the downtown area of Silver Lake where there are shops, restaurants and coffee shops available. It was also close (about a 2 mile walk--but a 5 to 7 minute drive) to Los Feliz, which had some fun vintage shops and good restaurants. Since I didn't have a car, having things within walking distance was important to me but I did use Uber and Lyft when I needed to. I enjoyed walking around the Silver Lake reservoir which is very close by--a beautiful walk in the early morning. Claudette had some very nice suggestions for things to do and I was grateful for her warm and welcoming nature. I would absolutely stay in Claudette's space again when I return to LA--hopefully in the near future!
