My girlfriend and I stayed in Brandon's apartment for 5 nights at the start/ middle of September and it was a perfect base for us to explore LA from!
Being located in the Hollywood Hills, the apartment is close enough to all of the main areas that its easy enough to travel to/from, whilst also being in a quiet and secluded area that's away from the hustle and bustle of the centre.
We decided not to rent a car whilst in LA and used Uber as our main method of transport. Here are some rough prices we paid to get to different places from the apartment, to put some context to the location: Universal $5, Walk of Fame/ Hollywood Blvd $5, Rodeo Drive $17, Santa Monica Pier $30, Venice Beach $35, LAX Airport $40, Disneyland $40.
The apartment itself is exactly as described and as shown in the pictures. Large kitchen and ample living space, brilliant for making a home away from home.
Brandon as a host was fantastic. Easy to get hold of and allowed us to store our luggage in his garage after we checked out as our flight was later in the day.
In summary, an excellent value apartment with all the home comforts and an excellent location. We will definitely look to come back if we return to LA in the future.
