Russell is a very kind person. He did his best to make my (very) quick visit of LA as best as possible. His house is clean and the room also. It is a bit far from LA downtown or other interesting places, so it is necessary and recommended to have a car, even only to access the metro. However no problem at all to leave the car in front of the house (free parking). All in all I have been very happy to meet Russell and also to beneficiate from his nice cooking ;) . Also there are 2 cats that are adorable, but of course you need to appreciate and love cats to see that :) .
