leg._loc

I'm not sure why it's given a leading '_' to signal a private
variable, since it's implemented as a property. I'd probably still use
it.

Not really, since scaled isn't stored, but is merely a helper for

self.set_aspect('equal', adjustable='box', anchor='C')
self.set_autoscale_on(False)

You can get all of these properties individually:
ax = plt.gca()
ax.get_aspect()
ax.get_adjustable()
ax.get_anchor()
ax.get_autoscale_on()
