Chris and Carole are very friendly hosts. The room is as bright and clean as on the pictures. The garden and the view are amazing. The room has its own entrance and a private bathroom (so you get the best of an Airbnb experience: meeting great people without the embarrassment of walking through their living room early in the morning or late at night). You even have a private deck to enjoy the scenic view and the lush garden. We only met Carole briefly but we were very happy to speak with Chris who loves his neighborhood and have many good tips to share. They also have a huge list of recommendations for restaurants and cafes (LA is a foodies’ paradise). It was actually the 4th time we stayed in Silver lake and it's definitely our favorite neighborhood. The surroundings are so pleasant to walk around, with many charming houses. With a car, it’s also very convenient as it’s close from everything (and there's a parking spot available for guests). We hope to come again and we highly recommend it !
