Quiet Hillside Plant+Art filled home. PANORAMIC VIEWS! PRIVATE large BACKYARD
Guest rating: 4.8 / 5
Overview
Quiet Hillside Plant+Art filled home is a private, solar-powered downstairs guest suite in the Franklin Hills area of Los Feliz / Silver Lake, Los Angeles. The 730 sq ft space is designed with vintage mid-century modern furniture, plants, and art, and is known for panoramic hilltop light and spectacular sunset views. It’s a smoke-free, no-party home in a whisper-quiet hillside fire zone, with a private backyard and deck.
Layout & Bedrooms
The suite has two large bedrooms with queen beds arranged around a spacious living room, plus a 3/4 bathroom (shower and toilet). One bed has a premium organic latex mattress; the other is a Sleep Number mattress with adjustable firmness, and the host provides a range of pillows and extra clean sheets. Note that the bathroom is part of one of the bedrooms, so it’s important to review the floor plan before booking.
Work-friendly Comfort & Tech
Fast Wi‑Fi is provided, and each bedroom includes a desk and office chair (one is an Aeron chair), making the setup well-suited to remote work. Climate control is dedicated to the suite, with heating and air conditioning managed by a Nest thermostat. Entertainment includes a smart TV with streaming options plus a stereo/record player and a collection of vinyl.
Outdoor Space & Cooking
Guests have two private entrances from the side of the house, both leading to a private backyard area with a patio lounging setup and a gas grill. There is no full kitchen, but the suite includes a microwave, toaster, coffee-making options, hot water kettle, compact fridge/freezer, and (on request) an induction cooktop with cooking supplies for simple meals.
Location & Nearby Highlights
Set above Prospect Studios (known for major TV productions), the property places you about 1 mile from the Silver Lake Reservoir and Sunset Junction, 2 miles from Griffith Park and the Greek Theatre, and roughly 3 miles from Hollywood, Dodger Stadium, and Koreatown. Several bus stops are within a short walk (including Talmadge / Franklin ~199 m), and Glendale train station is about 2.8 km away. Nearby dining includes Alcove (~640 m), Trattoria Farfalla Los Feliz (~644 m), Home Restaurant (~643 m), and All Time (~708 m).
Best for
This guest suite is best for couples, friends, or small groups who want a quiet Los Feliz / Silver Lake hillside base with standout sunset views and a private backyard patio with grill. It also suits remote workers thanks to fast Wi‑Fi and dedicated desk setups in both bedrooms, plus in-unit laundry and dedicated climate control.
Travel tips
Street parking is typically available right across the street, but plan for hillside residential driving and a quiet neighborhood atmosphere. For transit, several bus stops are within a few minutes’ walk (Talmadge / Franklin is about 199 m away), and Glendale train station is about 2.8 km away. Review the floor plan before arrival—the bathroom is accessed through one of the bedrooms, and the home has strict no-party and no-smoking rules due to the hillside fire zone.
What guests say
Reviews highlight a notably attentive, communicative host and an overall sense of being well cared for during the stay. Guests frequently note the space is very clean and well maintained, with a distinctive, plant-and-art-filled style in a quiet hillside neighborhood. The setting and views are a major draw, with the block described as especially beautiful. A recurring caution is that the layout is somewhat quirky, so checking the floor plan in advance helps set expectations.
