Houston and Peter were terrific hosts, while we were really happy with the location of their home. It’s a short walk to many of the cafés and restaurants that we love in Silver Lake, which was the primary motivation for selecting their home over other options. The view of downtown LA certainly offered another attraction.

The apartment was everything we had hoped and expected it to be: a cozy, one bedroom suite, on the ground floor, that was both spacious and tranquil, clean and sunny, with a great walk-in closet, while the bathroom and well-stocked kitchen were perfect for what was needed.

There were great details too, such as the built-in cabinet in the living room, with glass and mirrors that reflect the morning sunlight. It’s worth mentioning that the bed was very comfortable as well.

I love how the space had the feel of a solid, 1920s Hollywood bungalow. I also loved having access to the patio, where we spent many mornings, enjoying the sunlight.

As a host, Houston was very quick to respond to my questions and was very helpful. She left us a local guide to stores, walks, restaurants and other attractions in the neighborhood and, all in all, we couldn't have asked for anything more.

The next time we are looking to stay in Silver Lake, we would certainly reach out to Houston and Peter again.
