Darrell and Bev were gracious hosts! Darrell had a bottle of wine and sunflowers waiting for us upon arrival, which we really enjoyed :) The cottage itself is an awesome space. The loft bed was comfortable and during hot days the AC cooled the place down excellent. The kitchen includes all you need and there are 2 dorm size fridges for perishables. We stayed a little over 3 months and enjoyed our time. The patio spaces are tranquil with two ponds and some patio furniture to enjoy the outside. The private entrance was great and the neighborhood was very quiet for LA and lots of people walking their dogs. Silverlake is a great spot for those who enjoy restaurants and the bar scene. A short $5 uber ride will get you all over Silverlake/echo park. We mostly interacted with Bev, and what a wonderful person she is. If you're lucky you may hear her serenading the plants in the morning :)
