I had a great experience staying the night at Brendan & Stina's place. I needed a room last minute and they responded promptly and were nothing but courteous the entire time. I had never used AirBNB before and was skeptical but they put those fears to rest. Their apartment was very clean and the room was spacious. I would recommend this place to the old and young, reserved and outgoing alike. I didn't have much interaction with them as I only stayed 1 night and was out for the majority but they were extremely nice and accommodating when we did speak. They made me feel comfortable with going out and coming in whenever I pleased. And they have the nicest little dog.. There was a small collection of homeless people on the way from the train to the apartment but they seemed harmless and it seemed hard to avoid the homeless anywhere in LA regardless.
