Los Angeles, the city of dreams, beckons with its mix of glitz and ease. Picture Rodeo Drive’s fancy stores next to Abbot Kinney’s cool shops, Sunset Boulevard’s bright signs alongside Pacific Coast Highway’s seafood spots, Beverly Hills’ showy style, and Silver Lake’s carefully picked vintage looks. Throw in lots of palm trees and nearly year-round sunshine (it only rains about 30 days annually), and you’ve got a place that’s fun to dream about.

When this writer first came to Los Angeles, someone asked her a key question: “Do you prefer the Hills or the beach?” This means, that Los Angeles is a big, spread-out city, mostly traveled by car. Where you stay doesn’t define your L.A. experience—but it does shape a big part of it.

So, here are our top 25 picks for the Best Airbnb in Los Angeles. Whether you want a simple artsy hideaway or a lively Hollywood Hills modern mansion, there’s something to match your West Coast dream. (And if city life isn’t your thing—don’t worry.
