Tim’s place is both remarkable and unique in Los Angeles. Designed by a famous architect, with virtually all of the furniture in it custom made to fit, it is a wonderful place to stay. We had been concerned about the number of steps from the street to the apartment (there are more than 60) but they are not steep, and there are many places to stop and rest if you need to. Also, Tim’s associate Kenneth was kind enough to help us with our bags when we first arrived. (A tip: we packed lighter and used the excellent washer/dryer in the apartment to ensure we had enough clean clothes.) The views from the apartment’s giant balcony, though, are the show-stoppers. You can look in just about every direction and have a different view every day, including of the Hollywood sign and the Hollywood Hills. They are spectacular all day, at sunset, and all night! Silver Lake is a true neighborhood, convenient to other LA neighborhoods like Echo Park, Glendale, and Downtown, and close to several freeways. We enjoyed the area’s restaurants, many of which have taken significant COVID precautions. Another tip is to take Tim seriously when he suggests you rent a small or midsize vehicle. The Toyota Corolla we rented fit perfectly in the space he made available for us at the foot of the stairs—if you have a larger car that won’t fit, you’ll have trouble finding a place to park it overnight. All in all, we had a wonderful visit, and hope to return there!
