Brian's place exceeded expectations. Its very spacious, plenty of room for our extended family. Full kitchen with great appliances, huge TV, printer, nice shower, bath, spotlessly clean, etc, etc. Also a very quiet neighborhood. For our family it was a great base mid way between the airport/Santa Monica, City/Universal, and Disney. We had no trouble getting Uber's to and from these spots - but as with all LA driving it takes time... around 90mins to Universal depending on time of day ($45-70), but only 30 to Disney ($25'ish) or LAX.
