This lodge in Silverlake was cute and cozy, with a kitchen that would have everything you need. We also enjoyed the small patio out back with a table where you could take your coffee or have a meal. It really did feel like a little oasis, especially the little streets winding up to the house. Very different from what I imagined LA would be.

The one thing I would say is that it felt like more of an impersonal airbnb experience due to the volume of properties this couple has that we did not realize (it looks like 6 rentals), though it seems to be a well-oiled machine and it was nice to have flowers, water, coffee etc. I do always squirm a bit when staying somewhere that is likely driving up the rents in the area with a hotel-like enterprise in a very popular neighborhood.
