For the location, I would recommend Jeanette’s place to explore Silverlake and LA - just a few days tops. We stayed for two months and it never had that comforting feeling of home, which wasn’t ideal. Parking can be an issue but we utilized the side street directly across (probably not allowed). Be mindful of street cleaning signs! Jeanette was always quick to respond to messages and took care of any issues promptly. She was kind enough to allow our dog to stay in the house.
