So my girlfriend and I stayed at Maile's place for three nights and it was great! We knew we would mainly use the place as a check-in point throughout the day and to sleep and it served our purposes wonderfully. Big closets, washer and dryer, and the view... is amazing, that's worth the price alone. On top of a hill looking over some of the city, it was awesome. And free street parking! Hard to find in town.
Maile's place is also very close to everything. We did a trip to Santa Monica, and up the coast to Malibu and both were very short drives (if you go to LA, do that and go early, so there's no traffic!). We also had a quick drive to Runyon canyon (go there and go to the top, it's literally breathtaking, but bring your hiking shoes). The farmer's market, Beverly Hills and everything else, in between, all just a short drive away. Silverlake is a great centralized location.
I loved the place and if I ever went back to LA I would definitely consider staying there again. For the price and what you get I would highly recommend it.
That said, make sure if you're coming from the airport, have a car and GPS, because the place is a little hard to find and the hills are steep. Also, if you plan on walking around the neighborhood (as we did a little bit) make sure you are in good shape and can handle hills. We did and it's not bad but just be aware if that is a problem for you.
Maile was a great host and the place is definitely worthy of staying. I would highly recommend it.
