I'm actually not looking for a place to live yet. I just want to get a feel. Do you think staying at a hotel in those areas (burbank, universal city, etc.) will be necessary. The truth is, when I'm not just looking around, I don't mind doing the tourist thing.

I guess West Hollywood is what I meant. Sorry I really don't know LA :-)
Just trying to figure it out looking at google maps!

How's downtown LA? Especially at night and for the week-ends?

Do I sound like I have an assistant???
