This really is a very special place to stay. All the basics are wonderful... the beds are extremely comfortable, it's very quiet and peaceful, the bathroom is lovely with a great shower and tub, the kitchen is big and well equipped. What makes this home really special is Kareen's touch....the beautiful design and art, the views, the incredibly private back yard that is an oasis in the city, and Yoris the Tortoise! My husband and I stayed over Thanksgiving with our two adult children, we loved being able to rest and relax after a long day running around the big city. This is a great neighborhood as well with grocery stores and fun restaurants and shopping nearby. Silver Lake reservoir is close enough for a good jog or walking excursion. I highly recommend this special place, especially if you are a fan of the eclectic and artsy. Kareen is also a very friendly responsive host and easy to communicate with.
