First things first; if you ever be so lucky to be a guest at the Silverlake Guesthouse, congratulation!
Barry and Elyse are the best hosts, they are open-minded, kind and interesting people. Their recommendations are great and precise, they give you insider tips and make you feel at home. In the Guesthouse you have your privacy and space to work, but if anything comes up, you can easily approach them.
Step in front of the door, and you'll have a pool, in the mornings the sun warms the space and invites you to a breakfast outside, step out the other door, you'll find a table tennis, actually the greatest fun- thing to do. Barry gave us bikes and we rode around the neighborhood, did I mention that Silver Lake is great? You live just next to it, the actual lake, you can take a walk around it, jog, picknick in the nearby park and enjoy the space.
We did the "Secret Stairs Tour" and were simply amazed how beautiful the neighborhood is, the architecture of the houses, the flora (you'll find everything in bloom here along with Banana Trees, Lemon and Oranges, Palm trees and Cactus; the shops and cafes, the restaurants of the neighborhood, especially on the sunset part, are stylish, hip, tasty... you'll find everything upcoming, but it has an original touch to it.
People are decent in this neighborhood, I felt really save (I can't say that about other parts of L.A.)

From the house, you are very close to Griffith Park, to Los Feliz, to Hollywood, to Downtown, Ecco Park, it's very central, but you'll find it a peaceful and quiet place to come home to after a long day in L.A.
We enjoyed our stay so much that we would immediately return!

Thank you, Barry and Elyse for making us feel so at home and for sharing your great space, we appreciate it so much!
