La Casita is quite a gem! It has:
+a central location. We drove to the Broad, the new Academy Museum & LACMA without having to get on a freeway or drive long, with great options for restaurants and shopping along the way.
+the house. It's spacious in common areas, while providing privacy in the 3 bedrooms, and the small office space. (My daughter comfortably hosted a zoom meeting from there). ...We appreciated the multiple sitting areas in the front and backyard that allowed us to host friends in different spaces outside. ...Then there are the best bath tubs ever that fill to the brim without having to worry about the water spilling over, and stay magically hot for a long time. (I had to force myself out!) . ...The small sauna felt like a luxurious treat to begin the day! ... AND this was the best equipped house/kitchen I've stayed at through airbnb: Bath salts, olive oil, and organic herbs! (Thank you!)
+Communication with the host was excellent--friendly and very responsive to questions or concerns.
I would definitely stay here again and am already considering it for the annual get together I plan with 2 college girlfriends in the spring.
