STILL House Hunting in Los Angeles (have expended horizons even further)

I figured that since, after all, I do drive a Smart... a little commute to and from work wouldn't be all bad.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Seeking spacious, bright, airy HOUSE with 2-car garage for rent in quiet neighborhood. I have a cat (lazy) and a 6' grand piano that needs extra living room space (the piano, not the cat). I LOVE older houses and Craftsman-type houses, so if yours was built in the 1920's you have my attention!

Need 2 or more bedrooms -- mostly because anything smaller won't fit the piano and I need one room for a home office. I prefer hardwood floors. Seriously hoping for central air-conditioning (I've had window units for years and they're really not that efficient or cost-effective). Appliances are not necessary but will be appreciated if they come as part of the rental. I enjoy gardening and can perform minor repairs such as electrical and plumbing, so I wouldn't be bothering you to change a light bulb or something silly like that. I'm clean, not a hoarder and will take good care of your property.

I'm happily and gainfully employed with excellent references and credit. I insist on keeping renter's insurance (for your protection as well as mine) and I don't throw wild parties or do anything that might annoy the neighbors. I do play the piano, but only during reasonable hours.

I will be happy to sign a 6- or 12-month lease.

Looking in Burbank, Toluca Lake, Studio City, Valley Village, Sherman Oaks, Hancock Park, Larchmont Village, Melrose, Hollywood Hills, Beachwood Canyon areas. Willing to check out Glendale/Pasadena as well. Would consider a duplex if it's big enough (and the neighbors are nice). Would also consider a warehouse-type loft (must have secure parking).
