Spanish Silver Lake Bungalow circa 1920

Gisele, our host, could not have been more accommodating. She understood our special situation of visiting our daughter and son-in-law in welcoming our first grandchild and provided us a warm, conveniently located, thoughtfully furnished, and decorated haven for us to navigate our month away from home. We could have not asked for or needed anything more. Her prompt communication, attention to detail, flexibility, (greatly appreciated when the baby arrived 3 weeks early) and patience made an uncertain time feel like a home away from home. We look forward to staying with her again for our future visits. Great location. Easy walk into town and to SL Reservoir.

The property is one half of a small duplex. We stayed here for five months and I highly recommend it. Great location, cozy, and has everything you’d need for an extended stay. The kitchen is small but sufficient. As others have noted, the garage is very narrow…too narrow for our car, but finding street parking was rarely an issue. There’s a tiny patio out front. If you have a dog, a great dog park is nearby. Five stars!

I was beyond fortunate to stay at this gem of a property for six months in 2020. The bungalow presents exactly as advertised; clean, warm, cozy, and stocked with everything you need for long-term renting. The property is perfectly situated in Silver Lake ... it's walking distance from coffee, restaurants, boutique shopping, and the fabulous doggy park! Gisele and Guy are absolutely wonderful property owners too. I was greeted with fresh flowers and a handwritten note welcoming me to the bungalow, which was deeply appreciated. They respect your privacy while at the same time providing immediate, efficient, and friendly service ... they are truly great to rent from. I loved my experience at the bungalow so much that I also rented it for the month of June, 2021. I highly recommend this wonderful property which is exquisitely maintained by excellent owners.

The apartment is a nice space with an eating area in the kitchen, a separate dining room, and a living room with easy chairs. Also a sitting area in the bedroom. The weather in LA this December was unusually cold and none of the housing seems to be built with the insulation we are used to in the mid-west. Luckily there was a portable electric heater which helped warm either the bedroom or the bathroom depending on where it was placed. The built in heater helped warm the dining room and kitchen. The warning about the narrow driveway and small garage was adequately described. We had a Toyota Camry which just made it because the side mirrors folded in. After parking in the garage one night, we decided on park on the street thereafter. It sometimes took 10-15 minutes to find a parking place. The clothes washer and dryer were great. When we requested a second house key from the owner, it was brought over right away. There are nice places to eat within walking distance and the Silver Lake Resevoire and park are within walking distance. To summarize: good living space, walkable location, responsive owner, good clothes washer/dryer. The biggest negative for us was the parking situation.
