Really enjoyed staying at Stephen's place, there is a lovely outside area and the flat looks exactly like it does in the pictures. The shower is also awesome! The neighbourhood feels quiet and safe, though if you're scared of dogs you might want to give this a miss- tons of dogs barking as you walk along the street and they're very vocal during the night too. It's quick (for LA standards) to get to Hollywood and Silverlake from the apartment, so I really liked the location.
Stephen was very good at giving me all the info needed in advance (how to get the keys, wifi password etc.) so I didn't have to ask him anything, which was great. Everything was exactly as he described so it was easy to find and access the flat. It would have been nice to get one towel each, as I booked for two people and only got one bath towel and one hand towel, but everything else was great and we would definitely come back next time we're in LA. Thanks Stephen!
