Built in 1919 and meticulously restored in 2011, this elegant duplex abounds with vintage style and charm. This listing is for the bottom floor (1BR/1BA). It's a perfect home-base from which to visit family and explore nearby restaurants, wine bars, music venues, and all that LA has to offer. If you need more room, see VRBO #390306 for the upper floor, and/or VRBO #303778 for our nearby cottage.
Inside, the sun porch overlooks Los Feliz, with a straight-arrow view of the Hollywood sign that spans the entire width of the building. The kitchen has a cute vintage stove and a salvaged wood bar. The bedroom is separated from the living space by french doors, and has a spacious dresser and closet. Outside, you have a small patio is secure and private and perfect for dining. Come up the stairs from the patio directly to a nicely shaded section of Griffith Park boulevard, and walk 2 blocks down to Sunset Junction.
Sunset Junction is a Silverlake neighborhood hub, with Cafe Stella and Intelligentsia coffee, as well as a boutique called Driftwood, the Silverlake Conservatory of Music, and the Silverlake Cheese store. Even closer is Cafe Casbah, Forage, Pazzo Gelato, Naturewell, and Vacation Vinyl records. We have the Silverlake Farmer's market once a week, right around the corner. There is a wealth of great boutiques, restaurants, and bars within an easy (slight downhill) 5 minute walk from the building.
For kids, there is Shane's Inspiration, pony rides, a carousel, the Zoo, and the Museum of the West just 2.2 miles from the building in Griffith Park.

Home Away From Home for Christmas !

We had a delightful 12 days staying at the Cottage in Silverlake this Christmas. It is a short walk to Sunset Blvd/ Sunset Junction, known for charming shops, and the best coffee shop in LA. The cottage is very convenient to public transportation and an easy drive to Trader Joes, Griffin Park, the Observatory and numerous other destinations of interest. Robin and Tim could not have been nicer/easier. They made the whole experience form making the reservations to checking in and out as user friendly as possible. The house is comfortable and well equipped. We cooked several meals there and baby sat our two year old Grandson. It was the perfect place for us to have a home away from home during the holidays.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, sightseeing, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, families with young children, girls getaway, age 55+.

We stayed for a month and wished it could have been longer. Spacious and modern with a great view of the hills, the observatory and the hollywood sign, it's located in the best part of Silver Lake - walking distance to Sunset Junction. If there are people staying upstairs you can hear them but never to the point that it bothered us. Robin and Tim are great hosts, available at all hours of the day if anything comes up. Can't recommend this place highly enough!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We stayed in the 1BR downstairs portion of this Silverlake house and I was amazed at how the experience exceeded my expectations. The space is lovelier than the pictures, if you can believe it! Robin had assured me that they run a tight ship, and every detail was attended to from a pair of umbrellas at the doorway, to plentiful and quality clean towels and linens, fresh flowers, and welcome basket with fruits, snacks, and wine. Other thoughtful amenities such as a hairdryer made my stay seamlessDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Okay....well...I hesitate to give the fabulous review that this place deserves because then it might not be available next time. This place is unbelievable. Robin has everything you'd possibly need for a stay away from home. The kitchen was well stocked and there was a DVD player (beautiful flat screen t.v.). Fresh flowers and a bottle of wine were there to greet us. It's the cleanest place I've ever stayed in,including some wonderful hotels. I just can't say enough great things about this placeDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2011
About the owner: Robin became a fan of apartment rentals for travel years ago through her work as a photo shoot producer. When our family travels together, it's important that the lodging aspect of our experience is hassle-free. We carry that through to our hosting opportunities, providing our guests with an ultra-easy check-in process and key access system. Our life motto is: today matters.
Why the Owner Chose Los Angeles:
We've been hanging around Silverlake and restoring old buildings in the neighborhood since 1997. The diversity of architecture, the trees, access to Griffith Park, the hils, the reservoir, and the great restaurant selection in this neighborhood will hold our interest for decades to come. Love it!
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment:
We love walking to Cafe Casbah and to the Farmer's Market. Love the stair streets, Lyric Theater, and being close to Trader Joe's. It's all here.
