We spent a great week here. The place was exactly as described, and in a great location for us. You'll be within walking distance of some pretty sweet early-morning Armenian bakeries and late-night Thai takeout. We used the casita as a base to explore as far as Pasadena and Malibu but spent most of our time in areas within 30-40 min of it. Our hosts graciously offered to help with parking near their driveway; we were able to find street parking within 1-2 blocks every night and didn't mind walking but this would help if you needed to be closer. Definitely recommend if you're looking to spend some time in LA and Hollywood.
