I work remotely and wanted to try out living in LA for a few months, and Ryan's place was the perfect spot to do so! While the location isn't the trendiest or cleanest neighborhood, there are still plenty of great restaurants, gyms, hikes, and concert venues nearby + it's a central location, so it's easy to visit other parts of town. The room was perfect: I had plenty of space for my clothes, a desk that I could work at every day, and even room to bring my record player. Ryan was an awesome host - always responsive when communicating via text, very considerate of personal space, and a super fun and friendly guy to talk to with great local recommendations. His pets Judy (dog) and Shandy (cat) are the sweetest creatures to ever exist, and I never had any discomfort despite having a cat allergy (though I did make sure to take Allegra every day just in case). Overall, I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking to stay in LA for an extended time - you will feel right at home!!!
