Brian was a great host! The apartment was much nicer and more centrally located than a hotel room would have been, and he even stocked it with snacks and refreshments. Perfect location -- we could walk most places in mid-city and took a bus from not 2 blocks away to get downtown or uptown. We were even able to cook a few of our own meals in the kitchen to save a little $$. Brian was in touch with us throughout the trip via email, offering entertainment picks based on our interests. Overall it was an excellent experience, and we'd definitely stay there again!
