About this property

Scenic home with sweeping views! Walkable to Silver Lake; near Universal & more.

Welcome to Casa Verde, our picturesque hillside home boasting expansive views of Los Angeles. Situated on lush landscaping and set back from the street, our home is nestled in the charmingly funky Franklin Hills neighborhood. Walkable to both Los Feliz and Silverlake and vibrant restaurant scene, enjoy a stroll through the hills down to many local favorites (Café Stella, Black Cat, All Time, Maru, Pine and Crane, Intelligentsia, La Colombe, Tartine bakery, and Erewhon Market). We’re just a mile from Griffith Park’s hiking trails, tennis courts, as well as the Griffith Observatory and its panoramic views, Children's Hospital, and Universal Studios, Beverly Hills, and more are just mere miles away.

Our home is also uniquely situated along one of the historic hidden staircases that make up Silverlake and Los Feliz’s stairway walk (check out frankinhills.org/stairwaywalk). When you’re not exploring the local sights or relaxing on our outdoor decks, we hope you’ll take a stroll through our verdant garden that’s been lovingly curated over the years with meandering stone pathways through scores of local flowers, plants, and cacti.

Other creature comforts include a Nest thermostat central air conditioning and heating, high speed WiFi, a smart HDTV, full-size washer and dryer, and complimentary coffee, tea, and water to jump start your stay. Casa Verde is the perfect sojourn for solo travelers in town for business or a retreat, couples, and friends and families coming to experience everything else LA has to offer. (We can provide a Pack N Play if requested in advance.)

Our home is tranquil and hidden in the hills, yet walkable to the lively neighborhoods of Los Feliz and Silverlake. Our guests can enjoy a quiet retreat for writing, relaxing, etc. as well as venturing down to Sunset Junction for great meals, drinks and shops. We’re close to Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Gelson’s, and Lassens for all your snacks and in-home dining needs. Our newly updated kitchen includes a Viking range we love to cook on before dining out on the deck as we enjoy panoramic views, the beauty of flowering Bougainvillea, and the fresh smell of Jasmine. Our family and friends also savor the sunrise with their morning coffee, tea, and newsfeeds on the privacy of the decks just outside each bedroom.

We keep Casa Verde clean, updated and refreshed, so we trust you’ll feel as comfortable and at home here as we do.

*Important:
Before you request to book, please scroll down to the "house rules" section. We kindly ask that you read and agree to the entire house rules section before booking - thank you! Please note: this is a historic hillside community with narrow, winding roads. Additionally, there is a ring doorbell + outdoor security cameras (on the sides and back of the house overlooking the yards).

Beautiful, spotless, communicative stay! Highly Recommend

This property was even more stunning than the pictures show it to be. The gardens are amazing and so serene to look at when sitting on all the porches! Owner was so easy to work with and accomodating:) I was leary to use VRBO since we had bad experiences with other places (airbnb) in the past. Everyone loved this place! I highly recommended this home, it was well above expectations.

Great stay

We had an awesome stay here visiting friends in the area! This home is even better in person than in pictures. It’s also extremely clean with high quality furnishings. The home has overall zen feeling with its serene views from both inside and outdoors - made it easy to kick back and relax. We also enjoyed the string lights outside that come on automatically - those added even more vibe to an already wonderful place. Our host was great: super nice and responsive. Will definitely stay again!

Beautiful home with unbelievable views!

This home is one of the best appointed rental homes I’ve ever stayed in. No detail was left out—comfortable king beds in all three bedrooms with good closet space and luggage racks, decks off of every room, two nice bathrooms filled with lots of amenities and a gorgeous kitchen. Wished we could have stayed longer just to enjoy the house and living spaces more. Lovely gardens surrounding the home too. The only thing to note is the driveway is steep, so backing down it was best, or parking at the top and walking down— Alesa gave us those instructions and they were helpful. Host Alesa was very responsive during our stay. We would definitely stay here again— can’t imagine a nicer place in a fun part of town.
