When I first saw the pictures and description of the Casita while searching for a place near the beach and the business campus at Playa Vista for an extended stay (3 weeks), it looked ideal. I was dreaming about having great places to walk including the beach, easy access to the local restaurants and part of the local scene, a private sanctuary to return to each day - and all-around pleasant place to hang out when I was not at my client's office. It excelled on all levels - plus a amazing view with ocean breeze! Dan was a great host; very responsive the couple of times I needed to get in touch. Highly recommend.
