Flight
You can fly into either Los Angeles International (LAX) or Bob Hope Airport (BUR). Burbank is regionally closer to our location than LAX, but prices are often lower at LAX and offers more direct flights from most locations. For our friends and family who are not frequent flyers - we advise booking the most direct flight as this will make travel much easier. Uber and Lyft are accessible at both LAX and BUR, as are traditional taxis. We do not advise trains or buses out of the airports as transportation via this means to East Los Angeles is quite complex. However, Super Shuttle is viable if you have the time!
Rental Car
Many rental car options are available at LAX and BUR, as well as at locations around the city. Enterprise will even deliver a rental car to you at your preferred location. Car-share services Uber and Lyft are also used widely for transportation and you can affordably see much of the city this way without renting a car.
Hotel
There is a very reasonably priced and geographically close hotel in Glendale we recommend for easy use. At the time of this post King rooms are advertised at $166/night, and breakfast is included in the rate. It's a convenient 15 minutes away from our house which also makes it a very affordable Uber ride back to the hotel post-wedding if that's how you choose to travel. It's adjacent to the Americana Mall and a very close walk to lots of shops and eateries. There are many excellent hotels for travellers willing to do some research and stay in different neighborhoods, however. If you want to do some digging for other hotels, we recommend looking around in Downtown and Silver Lake/Echo Park (10-15 minutes), Los Feliz (15-20 minutes), Glendale (10 minutes) and even Hollywood or Mid-City (30 minutes).
House Or Rental
We highly recommend AirBnB as the best space for your money, particularly for larger groups and families where entire houses can be rented for the cost of a single fancy hotel room. Try the following neighborhoods, and if you're renting a car don't forget to check to see if they include parking. - Elysian Valley and Elysian Heights - Echo Park - Silver Lake - Atwater Village - Glassell Park - Highland Park - Glendale - Downtown
