Firstly, Mi Casita was exactly as advertised! We stayed for one week and it felt just like a home away from home. The house was very tidy and had a pleasant clean laundry smell. There was plenty of snacks and water, including a very tasty bottle of wine! They stocked the room with plenty of extra towels and wash cloths and blankets for the bed. Mando and Nena make it very easy to communicate with them if needed. However, since everything we could or would need was already there, we had no reason to contact them for anything. Even so, they made sure to let us know that they were one phone call away if needed. The space is attached to the side of their home and has its own private entrance so we felt very secure and safe. There isn't much to do in the exact vicinity but if you take the Metro a few stops you could find plenty of fun activities and restaurants. We didn't experience any parking issues since we used Uber and Lyft to get around and on some days used the Metro which was a cool/familiar experience (being from NYC.) But parking didn't seem to be a huge issue whenever we went out and came back in. Overall, Mi Casita surpassed our expectations and allowed us to really enjoy our vacation in peace and comfort! We would definitely recommend staying at Mi Casita and would stay again if/when visiting Los Angeles again!
