Los Angeles is a geographic marvel, sprawling across 500 square miles of mountains, valleys, and coastline. This vastness can make choosing where to stay a challenge for first-time visitors. The city is a collection of distinct pockets: luxury shopping on Rodeo Drive, the walkable charm of Larchmont Village, historic Sunset Boulevard, seafood shacks along Pacific Coast Highway, and the retro vibe of Silver Lake and Los Feliz. With so many microcosms in one place, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Fortunately, the best Airbnbs in Los Angeles can help simplify your decision.
A key choice is which side of town to stay on. While not a strict rule, picking between the east and west sides helps narrow your options. For instance, if you plan on multiple beach days, staying in Echo Park wouldn’t be ideal. Your neighborhood won’t define your entire LA experience, but it will play a starring role.
