I loved staying at Brian's. He was there to help me settle in and he was super friendly and helpful. His place has a lot of personality and if you enjoy music it's great that he has a record player and a great selection of vinyls. The neighborhood couldn't be better, it was my favorite neighborhood in LA, especially since it's one of the few where I felt I could walk around and find a lot, and I mean a lot, of interesting places at walking distance: coffee shops, great restaurants, bars, clothing and art stores and even a farmers market on Saturday. I really wish I could have stayed longer, and I would definitely return if I'm back in LA.
