My wife, 17 year-old daughter, and I had a lovely stay at Jared and Hilary's Silver Lake apartment. It truly is an oasis with an incredible view of Los Angeles on a quiet hilltop above some of the hippest neighborhoods in the city.

Jared was incredibly friendly and accommodating; he met our every need, even ones we didn't know we had. There was cold beer in the refrigerator and great books to read on the bookshelves.

He even went out and bought us some beach towels!

We had a great time and will happily re-book next time our travels take us to LA.
