Brian's place is more than a cool apartment to stay in, Its an immersion into a working Artist Studio. Entering and exiting our accommodations thru the studio is inspiring. Inspirations are expanded with the creative vibs of the surrounding artist complex. There is an inviting private community garden directly in front of the studio. A Great place for a glass of wine before dining in some of the charming neighborhood restaurants. The apartment is well appointed with all that is needed. We enjoyed being in the middle of the city yet seeing huge green trees out of the floor to ceiling windows in each room. Brian was very available and willing to share his artistic accomplishments. I was leary of staying in this area of the city, i thought it would be a cold and dead neighborhood, but found a quite opposite feeling. We are looking forward to staying here again.
