This house is exactly as advertised. Read the description to the letter because this is not for everyone. Hope was extremely responsive and easy to get a hold of. We loved the atmosphere, the view is to die for, and if you are looking for a really out of the ordinary experience - something unforgettable - this is for you. We stayed for three months while we searched for our new home in LA. If you are planning on staying for longterm beware that the space to put your things is limited as Hope keeps her things in the house as well. There are hummingbirds everywhere, you can watch an owl hunting at night, a fox even sat next to me and watched the sunset one night. It is close to all of the great and amazing things silver lake has to offer and of course a stones throw from the reservoir. If you are allergic to cats this is probably not the place for you. There have not been cats there for several years but our allergies were still in full effect. All in all our time at this wonderful jewel was exactly as advertised and so, so special. Thanks for the memories Hope.
