Jamie's place really feels like a proper guest accommodation -- not like some AirBNB's where you're just crashing amidst someone else's stuff. It's a great location; a nice array of restaurants and shops just out the door and countless more a half-mile in either direction; in addition to the ones Jamie mentions, I recommend Food Lab for sandwiches and breakfasts, and the Thirsty Crow for happy hour cocktails. Runners will appreciate easy access to a pleasant loop around the Silver Lake Reservoir (with a few somewhat strenuous ascents). Highly recommended!
