Our family of 4 including 2 teens stayed at Allen’s place for over a month. It was a great experience staying in Silver Lake area. The neighbourhood is safe and quiet at night. We enjoyed the late afternoon walk around the hill side (not recommended after dark as we saw coyote). The place is a bit on the aged side but we managed to enjoy ourselves. One big plus is there are tons of cookbooks and cooking ware if you prefer home cooking rather than outside food. Great Le Creuset pots and pans that offer in the kitchen which made great food for the family. Overall, a good experience!
