Short Term Rental?

[Imelda_Sankson]

Im looking for a short term rental for the month of November whilst my son attends a clinic in LA 90007. Any recommendations in the area or within a short train ride? thank you

Short term rentals you're best-off looking for on Craigslist. "LA" is over 400 square miles, and the LA metropolitan area is closer to 4,000 square miles, so you're really going to have to narrow it down more than that.

Also the traffic is very bad so keep that in mind -- distances in LA may need to be 1 /4 or 1 / 5 of what you might be comfortable traveling in another city.

Los anveles is very duvets in just short drives to the next 20 mins away being a very affluent and expensive suburb and the next one neighbouring could be very impoverished there hardly is a middle class, perhaps Downey, Pico Rivera...and yes, LA is very diverse in race but in a pockets of racially homogenous suburbs like Compton or Cudahy This is a result of ongoing segregation of the Asians, Blacks, and Latino people who few are affluent enough to live in the upper-west side. Long beach is kind of a nice center and can be comfortable and not cost too much. It would be 30mins to an hr however. L.A. traffic is no legend. sorry for the long passionate post but L.A. is beautiful in it's finest and follies. I hope your son is doing well and gets better, and enjoy the city of Angels.

I think your best bet would be Airbnb or Craigslist. That area is close to USC and downtown LA and you really should not have too much problems with the metro/train rides.

However, LA is not well known for its public transportation, and due the dense area you may have to uber or taxi to your locations, or rent a car ( I would do the calculations on which it would be less expensive)

For AirBNB rentals, if you can contact the host you can maybe try to negotiate or ask for a monthly price for a short term rental. Some hosts/homes on AIRBNB offer a discounted rate the longer you stay, OR you can try to contact new condos/apartment complexes and ask if they do month to month leases instead of 1 year leases.

Hope this info helps!

The biggest question is: what is your budget? Typically short term furnished rentals start at $200 a night.

Try to stay in Downtown LA (simply google Downtown LA and you will see the borders of the neighborhood. Try to stay closer to the western section of it). Or stay within USC campus limits. If you wander beyond that, the neighborhood gets very sketchy very quickly. Here are some options: "Oakwood at Olympic and Olive", "Residence Inn at LA Live", "Global Luxury Suites at Figueroa", "Corporate Suites Downtown"

If these are out of your price range, then your best bet would be to look up some Airbnb rentals.

If Downtown/USC is not an option, I would suggest either Culver City, Burbank, or Glendale. All of these are nice, walkable, and safe neighborhoods. As well, there are train lines that take you directly to USC. Burbank will probably have the most short-term rental options, as a lot of people in the film industry need to stay there short-term for work. Take the Metrolink in Downtown Burbank to Union Station, and the Expo line to USC from there.

I hope this helps, and your son makes a speedy recovery!!
