I stayed with Jose for three months during my internship in Burbank. My sister stayed with me my first week there and came to visit near the middle of my stay as well. Jose was very welcoming to us both and left us a bowl of fruits and a couple of waters and granola bars. His place is very clean and the room is exactly as pictured. He also gave me use of the hallway bathroom for myself and replaced the towels with fresh ones every week. And since I was staying so long, he also gave me a large shelf in one of his cabinets for food. His dog is also very friendly and welcomed me whenever I walked through the door.

The neighborhood also felt very safe and I rarely had trouble finding parking, but make sure to follow the parking signs because the policemen in the area do follow them religiously. There was construction going on next to his place that woke me up a couple of mornings, but that was not any fault of Jose's. I never used the bus system while in L.A., but the Orange Line was only a block away. He’s also less than a 5 minute drive from the Red Line Metro Station, which I took advantage of several times. His home is also within walking distance to a grocery store, a 7-Eleven, and a few restaurants.

If I had any questions regarding where things were, the best way to get somewhere, or any general question, Jose was more than willing to help out. If I ever come back to L.A., I would definitely be willing to stay with him again.
