We loved staying at Brett's place and Brett was an excellent host--helpful, responsive and generous. The studio is light and airy with banks of windows on all three sides. Looking out over the rooftops you can imagine you're in Paris. Most beautiful of all was the view of Griffith Park and the Observatory. The neighborhood was a lot of fun and walkable. The studio is a couple of blocks from Vermont Ave where the amazing Skylight bookstore is. The wifi isn't adequate to work at Brett's. Fortunately, the Bru, a friendly coffee shop, serves delicious coffee and has great wifi. Next door is a period cinema showing current movies, hip boutique shops and vintage stores. Best of all, it's close to the Red Line so you don't have to drive everywhere which is good because parking is challenging. We had a wonderful time staying at Brett's.
