Brian's apartment is great, with the communal table, kitchen and living room in one loong open layout. It's quite spacious and well decorated. I enjoyed sitting on the couch and playing music on his sonos system. I'm mildly allergic to pets, but the place was so clean that i have only good times to report with Suki the cat :).
However, ends up the highlight was actually meeting Brian. He was out of town until my last night, but being able to hang out a bit that night and the following morning was a great experience. He's one of the nicest people I met in SF (and I used to live there!) and even sent over his Recs for LA which was next on my itinerary. True example of a great host.
