Our stay at Trish and John's was stellar. We have been hosted in a wide variety of settings in many places. This wonderful spot has gone to the top of our list. First of
all, it was impeccable! Clean as clean can be! Second? Gorgeous, homey, comfortable. Third; quiet and relaxing. The birds were singing and there are five (count 'em -- five!) outdoor spots from which to enjoy them. The gardens are glorious!
We were cheerily greeted by both Trish and John upon arrival. As we stood in an entry courtyard, we were charmed by lily pads floating upon a quiet fountain-fed pool of water -- the kind of haven that any frog would enjoy!
They showed us through and we feasted our eyes upon unique furnishings and art.
There are large rooms and the floor plan provides two regions: for living and for sleeping. Both needs were way beyond accommodated.
The mattresses are lush and we would awaken feeling so refreshed each morning.
Our breakfasts were easy to prepare in an ample kitchen. The refrigerator was replete with high quality and eclectic food and drink. From French Roast to bagels and lox.
Imported beer and little black olives. Chilled water and a bottle of wine! There was fruit and cheese and crackers! The kitchen is equipped with everything you could possibly need.
The overall 'feel' is understated, Spanish-influenced 30's style architecture (lovely) and is enhanced by a large, flat-screen tv, a speedy wifi, soft lighting where you'd want it and bright lighting where you'd need it.
Location, location, location! If you book there you are already on to the hip haven of Silver Lake. But THIS part of Silver Lake presents lovely homes at every turn. Each are unique. Gardens flourish and the Silver Lake Reservoir is steps away. A nice walk away is a little hub with shops, cafes and an overall inviting ambience.
We WILL book again.
Thank you for everything, Trish and John!
