What can I say? Ari's place was nothing short of spectacular! The home is set in a tranquil and serene paradise while being only a few short blocks from Sunset Boulevard and all of the incredible dining options that are present there. I loved walking down the stairs each morning and taking the shortcut down Scott Lane to get to Sunset so that I could go up to muddy paw coffee (although area does have an amazing coffee maker in his home)! Their coffee is outstanding and the money goes to help animals, what more could you want? I was spoiled for choice when it came to lunch and dinner as well, not to mention the numerous places that were available to lay back and have an adult beverage while chatting with the locals. I highly recommend Knuckle and Claw for a bite to eat!
The house itself was even more spectacular than the town of Silver Lake. There is such a tranquil vibe to Ari's home, and the amount of privacy is exceptional. I loved sitting in the beautiful swing nestled in the corner of the living room while basking in sunlight and working on my presentation. I came for work but quickly felt like I was on vacation! Ari was right, I was going to want to move in. When not enjoying the local cuisine or downing a craft beer at the local bar, I sat in the living room enjoying movies in surround sound. I felt like I was in my own little theater. After a movie, I would have a glass of wine on the front porch under the lights and the beautiful trees. Did I already mention this place was incredibly tranquil? Although this place felt wonderfully isolated, I also felt incredibly safe. The neighbors we're friendly and sweet, always greeting me if they saw me coming and going. Ari respected my privacy while always being just a phone call away should I need anything. I highly recommend Ari's home to anyone looking for an outstanding place to stay in a quaint and hip neighborhood!
