Clean A-Frame Studio Westside
White walls, a butcher block counter and located on the Westside of LA? Say less. This super sleek Airbnb in LA has all the trimmings you need to make your stay an absolute breeze.
Underground Speakeasy Apartment
What happens when a theme park designer and a Hollywood set decorator get together and whip up an Airbnb? A speakeasy-style apartment in the basement of their 1908 home.
Echo Park Retreat
This perfectly secluded private studio while small in size, is big in its offering. Here you'll score views of the Hollywood sign, Griffith Observatory and the iconic San Gabriel Mountains.
The Venice Abode
It's really not difficult to see why The Venice Abode clocks in as a guest favourite on Airbnb. An idyllic space to kickback and relax after a day along the strip, this small powerhouse bears a banging tea selection, beach bag, beach towels, yoga mats, Apple TV and a Sonos speaker for all the patio vibes.

The Cosy Hillside Cabin in Silverlake
We’re suckers for an outdoor fireplace, so when we found this 100-year-old stand alone cabin nestled into the hills, we knew that this was exactly the romantic escape that a travel-deprived couple would dream of. Filled with quirky touches and interiors, you’ll feel removed from the rest of the world, whilst only being minutes away from the action of the city.
The Hollywood Hills Loft Guest House
Snuggled directly under the Hollywood sign on the famous Beachwood Canyon Road, you’re just a short stroll away from some fabulous markets and restaurants as well as Hollywood and Vine, The Wall of Fame and hardcore trails of Griffiths Park. We love all the cute vintage touches and furnishings of this old school LA pad, and can’t get enough of the private alfresco area dreamy for having a post-adventure wine after a massive day of exploring.

The Best Instagram-Worthy Airbnbs in LA
Venice Beach Guest Studio
Pool? Tick. Hot tub? Tick. Fire pit? Tick. This Spanish-inspired pool house has all the elements needed for the ultimate LA pool party, and we’re here for it. Every corner you turn in this property is filled with quirky little knick knacks, gallery walls and plants climbing from the ceiling, perfect for those impromptu photoshoots with the girls. As the sun goes down, the never ending festoon and fairy lights will turn your space into the ultimate twinkling Summer fiesta.

You’ll love the colourful pops of each room, with all the modern amenities you’d need to make you stay superb without breaking the bank. Your Instagram will be blowing up for sure.
Pirates Of The Caribbean Getaway
We’ve definitely saved the most strange but fabulous Airbnb for last, with this outrageously weird and wonderful Pirates of the Caribbean inspired retreat in Topanga. Think tipis, tiki torches, nautical knick knacks and hidden spaces for finding treasure - this place has to be seen to be believed, and is ideal for those imaginative people who never grew up. Used for stacks of films and music videos, you need to book far in advance to lock in your stay, so get cracking.
Spanish Villa
Let us have our Lisa Vanderpump moment. This beautiful villa is made for sipping wine on the 1920s-style patio. From the white oak floors and French doors, to the rain stone shower and gourmet kitchen, no detail has gone unturned. Bearing all the old school charm and space, this LA Airbnb is oddly affordable too (if you share it between you a bunch of your travelling mates).
