If you have any doubts, go ahead and book - Ronald's place is easy to recommend for a stay in LA, short or long-term. The Silverlake location is excellent, as the bungalow is walkable to the shops and restaurants on Sunset Blvd but far enough from the highly trafficked areas for peace and quiet. The screened-in porch is also an extremely helpful feature, as it allows food and package deliveries to be dropped off securely from the elements and invisible to passing walkers and cars. The property is right across the street from a middle school, and walking around the neighborhood felt safe - I spent several months in the rental, and I did not have a single issue with a package, food delivery, or my parked car, which I often left at the property for weeks while traveling. The inside of the cottage felt cozy and spacious for a single traveler, and Ronald was extremely responsive and helpful in addressing any minor issues or answering questions. Highly recommended!
