A big, big thank you to Taylor for hosting us. Her place has so much character and is beautifully presented. The tree house embodies all the positives of using Airbnb over a hotel. 1. A welcoming local who knows a LOT about the area. Silver Lake is a great community and Taylor 's local knowledge meant we were able to take full advantage of the cafes, bars and shops. 2. A unique home with character and personality! This place is the antithesis of a boring hotel room. Taylor 's description of the place if very thoughtful and clear- i.e. "rustic" means "rustic". 3. A great location- Silver Lake is a really fun place to stay if you are new to LA like we were. All the locals were super friendly and welcoming. As with all of LA though- you need a car to get around. The tree house was a true highlight of our 3 week trip to the US and Canada!
