Renting in Los Angeles
Los Angeles is a driving city. Santa Monica to Pasadena can take well over an hour in traffic, and public transit does not cover most visitor routes. A midsize or full-size class is a reasonable default; compact classes are easier in older neighbourhoods with tight street parking.
Worth checking: Check whether your accommodation charges for overnight parking — in Santa Monica, West Hollywood and Downtown it is common.
