My wife and I recently spent a month in Austin's apartment, part of our transition to living in Los Angeles full-time. The experience felt like a generous and hearty welcome to the city. A sense of abundance pervades the space, both in the distinctive aesthetic of the interior (we particularly appreciated the original photographs and prints, as well as the eclectic collection of curios and statues) and in the lushness of the surrounding gardens. All in all, a highly stimulating environment for creative work. The patio quickly became our favorite spot for reading with coffee, while the kitchen proved an excellent space for writing--it was like having our own personal cafe in the heart of Silver Lake. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and we enjoyed the early morning light in the bedroom. Barry and Austin were gracious hosts, friendly and warm in our interactions, always responsive in our communications. We'll always remember our time staying with Austin and Barry as one of the defining experiences of our move to L.A. Thank you again!
