Fran - it was a pleasure hosting you and glad you found the location convenient and that I was able to respond quickly when needed. I hope you'll come back and stay!
Nice property in a quiet and good location. Heather was very helpful throughout the process. The actual apartment was a little more run down than it seemed from the pictures--a loose drawer panel; a messy utility space visible from the kitchen; some of the upholstered furniture a little ragged. Still, it was a good place to come home to at the end of a day.

Clark - thanks so much for the feedback! I will mention to cleaners to keep an eye on the utility room. Sometimes it's easy to forget that even the laundry room needs staging - that it's not just a catch-all room - esp since it is visible from part of the kitchen. I've been thinking about turning that into a 1/2 bath and remodeling that whole area and we just installed a brand new LG washer. And I know about the chair that needs some attention - just dragging my heels on finding just the right mid-century fabric to replace the original vintage upholstery, so that's a good reminder to just get it done. I was not aware of a loose drawer panel and something that would not be so apparent to the cleaners so I will take care of that! Glad you found the property quiet and in a good location and hope you'll come stay again!
We had a great stay at this spot with our two children (3 and 5). We loved all the light, the tree's, the proximity to some great places to eat. Would definitely stay here again! Lots of nice touches, very comfortable for our family of 4.
The host was welcoming, responsive, and super helpful!The house was open and gorgeous with so much beautiful sunlight. Parking was not a problem at all. I had a beautiful time with my family. Heather was magic. Could not have asked for a better experience!

So glad you enjoyed yourselves! You're welcome back anytime.
My sister and I enjoyed our stay. The house was located in a quiet cul-de-sac and parking was never an issue. Great location centrally located. Lovely views of the mountains and it was like staying in a treehouse.
The house was a great home base for our LA trip. Our main purpose was for a dodger game and the house made getting to and from the stadium very easy. The house had everything we needed and we loved the MCM vibes. Heather was very easy to reach and accommodating.

My friends and I enjoyed a nice weekend at this mid century furnished house in silverlake. The property definitely has a mid century vibe and parking was easy to find. We walked to Blair’s for dinner one evening and it was a terrific neighborhood Italian place with great food and wine.
Totally as advertised. This spacious serene space was delightful, well appointed and convenient. If you like this part of LA this is definitely a winner. Heather was great at every stage of the process!
Comfortable house close to many of LA’s top spots such as The Groove and Hollywood. Modern furnishings within walking distance to Starbucks and Whole Foods. Take a hike up the Silver Lake stairs to the reservoir.

Family stay
Host was very nice and easy to reach.
Had trouble with tv service and was constantly kicked off. Host was quick to help.
The house was as advertised: in the Silverlake neighborhood, which has easy access to freeways and a number of interesting neighborhoods. 5 minute drive or 15 minute walk to Silverlake Reservoir. Relatively quiet location near end cul de sac street overlooking Glendale Blvd. Nice mid-century modern decor, furniture, windows etc
Heather’s house is located near the end of a quiet dead end street. Open, spacious, clean, and comfortable. The house overlooks a busy street but you wouldn’t know it (except for distant traffic noise) because the large windows look out into the trees of the beautiful backyard. Very walkable; Whole Foods is a short walk or drive away. You can walk around Silver Lake Reservoir and it’s surrounding hilly neighborhood. Heather answered questions promptly. Kitchen well-equipped, great shower head, comfortable beds with quality linens. Highly recommend!
This choice property not only provided comfort but also inspired relaxation and creativity. Nestled in the Silver Lake hills, the huge windows are tucked into gentle trees, giving you the impression you’re in the most well-appointed tree house.
The bedrooms were comfortable, the bathroom perfectly appointed, and the kitchen had everything a Chef needed to craft some amazing meals. The owner, Heather, is a gracious host and consummate professional, ensuring my stay was seamless and responding promptly to any inquiries I had.
Every aspect of this home, from its flawless presentation to its prime location, contributed to an unforgettable stay. It served as the perfect canvas for creating new memories and provided a quiet haven to return to each day. For anyone looking to indulge in the Los Angeles lifestyle with a touch of elegance and comfort, this property is without a doubt a premier choice.

Thanks so much John! Happy to host you. You're welcome back anytime.
This is a beautiful mid-century house that's tucked up on a little street above the hustle and bustle of Silver Lake. It has one of the nicest kitchen set-ups of any rental property I've stayed at – super stylish dishware, tons of pantry and fridge staples. It was really nice to have a chill, comfortable place to hang out amidst all of our various city outings and our dogs LOVED the woodsy backyard.
This home is absolutely beautiful! I would have moved in if I could. The two living rooms, dining room, and open kitchen provided ample space for us to gather with friends. All with beautiful views. The house was tastefully decorated. The beds were comfortable. And Heather was very communicative to set things up optimally for us. We travelled with our one year old. He enjoyed crawling around the open space and I was happy that there were outlet protectors, baby plates, and even bibs available. Great location, too. Definitely recommend.
First I want to thank the host for accepting such a last minute reservation. The place beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, the peace is beautiful and the neighbors were very welcoming and pleasant. I would no I mean I am going to be renting here again. In closing if you looking for a place to relax take in the city and still come back to a home that feels like you are at home. This is it. Once again thank you Heather for everything and opening your beautiful home to strangers. This is not a regular Vrbo.
