There’s a whole lot to cram into the agenda when you’re visiting L.A. Between hitting up iconic Hollywood landmarks, exploring trendy shops at Venice Beach, and celeb-spotting at The Grove, you'll need a convenient home away from home to make the most of your time here. While it’s practically impossible to experience everything La La Land has to offer in just one trip — not with the nightmarish traffic — the key to having a good time is making your base in a neighborhood that has the right vibe, without compromising the budget.
Whether you’re looking to splash out on a Chateau Marmont-level stay or experience authentic California living in a dreamy bungalow, the star-studded inventory on Airbnb has something for everyone. With the platform pushing to feature more affordable house shares in its new Rooms category, you’re likely to not have to spend a fortune, either.
Ahead, we’ve curated the best Airbnbs in Los Angeles and its surrounding areas, from sprawling lofts downtown to a hillside home once owned by a silent film star. The only thing you’ll have to worry about is how to bottle up the West Coast sunshine.
