I stayed with Russell for two and a half months over the summer, I would without a doubt recommend him to anyone staying in LA. Beyond just the great location and living arrangements, Russell is an amazing host who knows so much about LA and the surrounding areas. His house is clean and comfortable for anyone looking for a short or long stay in LA. The private room and bathroom are great, Russell always offers clean sheets and a private bathroom is always a plus! He also is an amazing chef, if you want to learn anything about cooking he is the man to teach you! He makes a mean marinara if you need a home cooked meal. He is a great host and an even better man, if I ever need to return to LA I will 100% be staying with Russell again!
