Casabala

So I’ve heard all about this place from mutual friends, and I had to check it out myself.
During the entire time I was there, some random friend was asleep on the sofa. Found that odd.
Other notes:
Parking is great, the bar is always open, and house staff keep the property really clean.
The living room and dining room walls could use some color, to liven it up a bit.
My low rating is all due to that random who occupied the prized corner spot on the sofa. Guess next time I’ll need to call ahead and reserve seats.

I can’t rave enough about this place. At the end of my bed stand was a chest that legitimately had air from space. I’m a huge space nerd, so I spent most of my time huffing from that slightly cracked chest. I felt like Felix Baumgartner.
They had an incredible array of king size candy, which I would expect from a Hollywood home. What else do you do but watch flicks and appreciate the cinematography and how they pushed the limits given THE TIME PERIOD.
Great location as you’re only 3 hours from downtown in traffic. Was able to read a lot of Quora answers on the way in; Kyle the host was SUPER patient with me.
I’m a bit of a bed wetter (dad stuff :/​), so it was nice to have access to an in-​house washer and dryer.
Anyways, totally recommend this house. You will get older every day that you stay in it, which is comforting.

I still have not received the eggs benedict I ordered.

LA’s hottest club is Casabala. Club promoter KLZ is back with an all new hotspot that answers the question, «SMILE!» This place has everything: bear traps, Powerpoint, a guy who still thinks Jamba Juice is good for you, doo-​wop groups, backpacks, a wise old turtle that looks like Quincy Jones, an entire room of puppets doing karate. Puppets doing karate? You know, it’s that thing when someone calls Miss Piggy «fat» and she goes, «Hiiiiiii-​ya!» And look who just walked in – Is that Bobby Flay? No. It’s the lady who works at CVS, but do not bother her because she is on break.

I helped a guy build a big screen here once, but didn’t get paid or even a courteous ‘thank you.’
Two stars for the googly eyes on Simon the tree; one for each eye.

pros: bunk beds, drive up bar, fire pit, climbing tree (for those braver than i)
cons: no overnight parking, gets very cold (bring a blanket or wear a coat!!)

Before I even got there I was in a fairly bad mood on account of my stepdad, so not a good start already. Something about the overgrown grass in front reminded me of where he used to park his Buick Skylark… we weren’t in a drought back then I suppose.
Overall, a pretty memorable experience– I saw my whole past, and I am looking forward to visiting again come springtime. Lovely.
