As a former Angeleno who usually stays in Echo Park or Silver Lake, I wasn’t expecting to love Glendale but the cottages are great! Finding someplace this quiet, clean, well located and affordable isn’t easy. I was very happy spending a week in 421-F at the back of the courtyard with one neighbor and paid laundry on the other side. I rarely heard the former, never when trying to sleep, and the subtle sounds of the latter were helpful when it was my load in the wash. The apt. was well laid out and exceptionally clean. I practice daily yoga + deep breathing exercises on the floor and appreciate that I didn’t need to clean on arrival (pretty rare). The bed is SUPER comfortable and the full kitchen is well stocked with cookware of various finishes + any implement you might desire, including a blender and coffee grinder. The deep tub is a bonus as is the shower with excellent water pressure and plenty of heat. The cottage is also effectively heated–be sure to turn down the thermostat at night; no doubt the AC works well, too. It’s necessary to move cars on Tue/Wed street cleaning days and finding a spot can take time. Bus stops at the end of the block make public transportation easy and the adjacent recreation center with year-round pool will keep everyone in your party active and entertained. Bus to SilverLake = 30–45 mins. Lyft = $12–20. I liked this place a lot and would definitely stay here again.
