Brian's place felt like a home away from home for us in the mist of chaotic LA. The guest house was separated from the main house and we were respected of our privacy during the entire stay. Car rentals are definitely recommended if you stay here because drives to main beaches like Santa Monica, Venice, etc .. are all 30 mins to an hour away. The pool and hot tub were kept clean and the grill was also a great asset to our stay. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back!
