Brandon's place was a great oasis in L.A. For being on a somewhat busy street, it was gated, beautifully renovated/decorated and comfortable. As a light sleeper, the traffic noise was not bad at all. We moved the fan into the room at night, which cut off all noise. There are also some great restaurants and takeaways spots within a block or two away (Square One for breakfast and Anna's Cuisine for Middle Eastern). Brandon was quick to respond to all messages and even checked in on us during our stay to see if there was anything he could do to make our stay more enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again!
