I had a really relaxing stay in Highland Park at Veronica's place, and fell in love with her two pooches. The house is lovely, very spacious and thoughtfully decorated and the kitchen is equipped with everything you'll ever need x 5. Veronica and Lassaida were really helpful, kind and answered my questions about LA and the neighbourhood. I liked Highland Park, it's still very local with some great new places popping up. If you like yoga, I can't recommend Kinship yoga enough. I used the metro a lot, there's easy access to Pasadena for shopping or to Downtown. I also used uber, which was really easy and fast, including to get to the airport. One thing to be aware of is that the dogs did bark a bit at delivery people etc during the day. I'm really glad to have spent a month at Veronica's. Thank you guys and I hope to see you again sometime!
