We had a great time staying at Basil's place for 5 days. Comfortable bed with A/C (a plus in the summer). Quiet neighborhood and great location. Walking distance to Whole Foods and a bunch of cute Brentwood restaurants, and only about 10-20 minutes away from Santa Monica. We enjoyed Pizzana, a local pizzeria a 3 minute walk away, which Basil had recommended on our first night. Basil and his roommates were very friendly, but were also respectful of our space. Not to mention they have this super cute labradoodle named Arthur! Would recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay in a safe, quiet neighborhood in West LA.
