The guesthouse is understated but stylishly appointed, nestled in a lush niche in a hilly part of Silverlake. My boyfriend and I stayed for a weekend and left with new ideas for our dream home (kitchen greenhouse and wraparound living room chair rail shelf). The little courtyard off the living area of the guesthouse is a breath of fresh air and separate from the main house, but still connected. If you sit out there and Erika and Asa are out in their backyard, you’ll see each other. Because it was the weekend, they understandably had company outside - not quite the quiet we expected, but we didn’t mind too much (they have great taste in music and the volume was kept at a respectable level). Wonderfully convenient to have an off-street parking space and close walking access to some choice Silverlake restaurants.
