Cooper was very responsive and hospitable, even though I didn't get a chance to meet him until my last night there. My time in LA was short and I packed a lot of activities into it. The house had a very nice communal atmosphere to it, as there were more permanent roommates living there. Everyone was very friendly and I really enjoyed our conversations and help in getting to know the city. The room can be a little cold, but there are extra blankets and a heater available if you ask for it. I was fine with just blankets. I took the train a lot, where the nearest station was a little over a mile walk. There are better neighborhoods than that West of USC, but it was not really concerning. Overall, a very positive experience, great host, and recommended stay.
