Elyse & Barry are wonderful hosts. My boyfriend and I stayed with them for 5 days over Labor Day weekend for a wedding. We ended up in LA in a heat wave and their pool was a live saver.
The pool house itself is very cute and clean. The kitchen area is fully stocked with utensils and plates; the bed was very comfy; and the bathroom is really well positioned next to the pool (you can basically step out of the pool and into the shower). The backyard that the pool house is nestled in is really beautiful and very quiet.
Being near the Silverlake Reservoir was a nice plus - it's a great place to take a stroll in the evening or go for a run during the day. Their place is also about a 15 minute walk to a little enclave of hip restaurants on Silverlake Blvd.
Elyse was very communicative and got back to me quickly with any and all questions. They were also very flexible with our check in/out times. I would definitely recommend staying with them!
