I definitely recommend staying at Brian's place. The neighborhood is very safe and quiet. His place has a quick access (2 min) to highway 805 which allows quick commuting wherever you need to go to. The Jacuzzi heats up quickly and I used it a couple of times during my 8 days stay. The pool table is also very nice. As mentioned, you get a full floor with living room, bathroom and bedroom. I used the fireplace every night to warm up the living room (very efficient!!) while keeping my bedroom cool for sound nights. Brian is very friendly and easy going.
