Having only visited LA, Ralph was very helpful with recommending places to eat and things to do. I lived in the house for 3 months and really enjoyed my time there. I made some new friends and lived with some very interesting people that I probably would never had the opportunity to interact with. We had an interesting mix of "artist types", a financier, and myself a nurse. All different, but it worked and made for some interesting conversation. I really enjoyed my time in that charming old house.
