Silver Screen by AvantStay | Luxe Backyard Escape
Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
Silver Screen by AvantStay is a three-bedroom vacation rental home set in the heart of Silver Lake, one of LA's hippest and most walkable neighborhoods, between Downtown LA and Hollywood. The property blends classic Hollywood-era charm with contemporary comfort and is managed by AvantStay, which offers optional concierge services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, and gear rentals. This is a smoke-free, family-oriented residential property with a permit number of HSR23-002716.
Backyard & Outdoor Spaces
The standout feature of this home is its expansive backyard, designed as an entertainer's dream with a propane firepit, a cornhole lawn, a play swing, and an outdoor grill for al fresco dining. A balcony overlooks the lounge areas below, and a patio adds another spot to relax outdoors. Note that the living room fireplace is currently out of order, though the outdoor firepit remains usable.
Rooms & Interiors
The home sleeps guests across a primary king bedroom with an ensuite bathroom featuring a standalone tub and separate shower, a second king bedroom, and a twin room with two beds, plus two optional tri-fold beds on request. Two separate living rooms each have a television and sofa, and the lower living room includes a small desk suited to remote work or study. A fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances and barstool seating adjoins an eight-person dining table for group meals and games.
Amenities
In-home conveniences include air conditioning, heating, a washer, an ironing board, cable TV, and free Wi-Fi, along with free parking for up to three cars in the driveway (no garage) and complimentary Level 2 EV charging. A crib is available, reinforcing the property's kid-friendly design.
Location & Dining
The home sits within walking distance of numerous restaurants including Forage, The Silver Lake House (by Leela Thai), Dune, Spina, Edendale Restaurant and Bar, and Bar Sinizki, as well as a wine shop and grocery options across the street and nearby. Silver Lake Meadow is a short walk away for picnicking, and the neighborhood connects easily to Atwater Village and Frogtown for further dining and shopping. Public transit is close by via the Glendale/Silver Lake, Glendale/Deane, and Glendale/Fletcher bus stops, with Glendale and L.A. Union Station accessible by train.
Best for
This home suits groups and families seeking a private, residential-style stay with ample indoor and outdoor space, thanks to its three bedrooms, two living rooms, and entertainer's backyard with firepit and cornhole lawn. It also appeals to remote workers who need a dedicated desk area, and to travelers who want a walkable, restaurant-dense Silver Lake location without staying in a dense hotel district. Guests must be at least 21 to book, so it is not oriented toward young solo travelers or student groups.
Travel tips
Book ground transportation or budget for a drive, since Hollywood Burbank Airport (about 14.5km) is the closest airport and LAX is roughly 22km away. The Glendale/Silver Lake, Glendale/Deane, and Glendale/Fletcher bus stops are all within a few hundred meters for local transit, while Glendale and L.A. Union Station train stations offer wider regional connections. Quiet hours (9pm-8am) and strict noise/occupancy rules are enforced under LA's Home-Sharing Guest Code of Conduct, so plan evening activities accordingly.
