31 Best Los Angeles Airbnbs to Book in 2023

A beautiful garden and a private deck are just the beginning of this one-bedroom suite’s amenity list. Anchored on the hills surrounding Silver Lake, the good views never stop. Designed by architect Tom Marble, the angular curb appeal is undeniable—and it oozes into the interiors. Massive sliding doors offer a subtle reminder of the outdoors, but a 47-inch TV (with HBO) is an enticing option for a night in. Just make sure to take some time to check out the sunset from the deck and its lounge space. The studio may be small in footprint, but it’s luxe for the price and serves as a great home base for exploring the city. Just a heads up: There are a bunch of steps leading to the front door – 50, according to the listing.

Situated above the Sunset Strip, we feel safe saying the two-bedroom Tomoko Home has one of the most striking views in the city. The best place to take it in? Poolside, of course. There’s also a koi pond, Japanese-style interiors (hello, tatami mats!), a sunken fire pit, a steam shower, a pizza oven, and a primary bedroom boasting a suspended fireplace. It’s chic, it’s cozy, it’s luxe, and you won’t want to leave—but the city’s best entertainment is an Uber away when you do want to venture out.

Fifteen-foot ceilings, 200-year-old exposed beams, original hardwood floors, hand-painted Mexican tiles, and stained glass windows create the shell of this stunning Airbnb rental.

You can see the Hollywood Sign from the balcony, which is great when you want to disconnect and relax a bit, but still feel like you're in LA. Inside, this home is all about being connected—it’s full of smart features like shades that respond to direct sunlight. The Sunset Strip and its iconic bars and restaurants are a quick drive away. But back to the house: In the main bedroom, a wall-sized window opens up in front of the bed. Linger in the steam shower, which was designed with beautiful, raw-edge seating to help you get into full relaxation mode.

If you’re on a budget but still want a thoughtfully designed space, this one-bedroom guest suite is going to serve as a comfortable and chic spot to lay your head after a long day of sightseeing.

A great example of Craftsman-style architecture, the light streams right into this one-bedroom guest house.

Plus, street parking is easy to come by.
