Brian is, as everyone else said, a great host and a real nice guy; he will go out of his way to ensure your stay is pleasant and keeps the apartment reasonably tidy. The room is as pictured. Be aware the apartment is old and not in the best condition; there is some mold and mildew, if you are sensitive, and electrical outlets are limited and circuits easily overloaded. There are cats and occasionally the accompanying odors. If none of the above bothers you then you will have a terrific time; and Brian goes out of his way to address problems quickly. I would happily stay with him again.
