We had a great time at Grant's place. The location was perfect for us - we didn't have a car, but the apartment is an easy walk to the Wilshire/Vermont metro station, and also to a few key bus lines.

We only met Grant once, but his housemate Bill helped us when we arrived, and was available if we needed anything. The room is really well appointed and comfortable (it was quite warm in August, but there's a very effective fan.) The book-lined shelves were a joy to peruse, and the kitchen and bathroom were always available.

We highly recommend Grant's place, particularly if you're travelling without a car.
