Brian was a lovely host, and his place is so peaceful and welcoming. It is near very posh neighborhood that has a local feel instead of super touristy. Easy walk to transit. My favorite parts of the apartment were 1) on nice days making coffee and having breakfast in the sun on your private little porch and 2) Brian has a recording studio next door, so enjoying some excellent live music through the walls! (he was sure to ask us if it was okay, first) I would highly recommend staying there!
