I’m moving to LA in 2 months and want to stay in a short term rental before finding an apartment to rent for a full lease term. there is so much I don’t know, and the more I learn, the more I feel I don’t know about the city. Has anyone used any of the furnished short-term rental apartment buildings in LA before? Or should I go with AirBnB/VRBO? Any advice?

Short term rental costs in LA are insane. I know this isn’t the question but I find it hard to think of a scenario where you wouldn’t be better off just starting a lease. Indecision on where to live?

In my opinion, where you work should influence where you live in LA. You can live in a neighborhood you love, but if your commute is going to take 2 hours one way, you’ll hate it.

Craigslist is also not a bad resource here! You can usually tell if it’s sketchy but definitely more on here than I’ve seen in other cities.
Also check Facebook groups for sublets! Will probably be cheaper than a furnished place.
Also check traffic on google maps from the place to work. It might be 4 miles away but that can mean 20 minutes or 2 hours depending lol
