Burbank is pleasant and quieter than LAX, but getting to the Westside from there is ugly all the time. My wife is working on a project near the zoo (5 and 134 intersection) and she has yet to find an easy/pleasant way to do it.
But if you plan to stay in the east Valley, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, etc. it makes good sense.
