We had an amazing 6 week stay in this lovely house. My husband, our 6 month old and I adored our time here.
House:
The house was very spacious, well appointed and so comfortable. Full and spacious kitchen (with washer and dryer), comfy bed with loads of closet space, inviting living room, It had everything we could have needed. Thoughtfully decorated and immaculately clean. Lots of day light and greenery. The lay out worked out very well for us: living room at the front, flows into the dining space, then to the kitchen, then a short hallway (with a door you can close if you want to keep noise from travelling) and the bathroom and office are off that hallway. The bedroom is all the way to the back, separated from the office by French doors which mean you can tailor it to be as separate or open as you'd want between those two spaces. We used the office for the baby to sleep in his pop up crib, worked out great. Windows take up two of the three walls of the bedroom and provide a dreamy view of the hills and palm trees. Oh and there's parking in the driveway!
Neighbourhood:
The neighbourhood is great, can't do much better in Silverlake - it is on a hilltop but it's manageable in terms of the incline. There's a great farmers market twice a week (Tue pm and Sat am) 10 min walk, and countless coffee shops, restaurants, and small boutiques. There's a 365 Market and CVS about a 5-8 min drive away. You can walk to the Silverlake reservoir (20 mins) or go for a stroll on Sunset (5 mins). It's veggie / vegan paradise with so many restaurants right nearby that specialize in plant-based food. We always felt safe and it was so quiet at night in the house you could hear a pin drop.
Hosts:
We felt so welcomed! Super quick and efficient communication, very thoughtful all around - when we checked in there were fresh flowers in a vase, soy milk, coffee and wine and snacks awaiting us in the kitchen. Jared even let me ship a few baby items a few days ahead so we wouldn't have to fly with them. They even had a baby bath tub that we used since there's only a shower no regular bath tub. We couldn't have asked for anything more! Every question along the way was answered incredibly promptly and courteously over text message.
