The Casita is in a great location: close to LAX, close to a beach and less than a 5 minute drive to Marina del Rey, Venice Beach etc. We never had a problem with parking on the street and basically were just there to sleep every night. The ocean view is really nice and if you're looking for something affordable in the LA area and plan to do a lot of sightseeing or relaxing at the beach, we highly recommend this place.
