Los Angeles Accommodation & Rental Homes

Located in Southern California, Los Angeles is renowned for its entertainment industry, cosmopolitan culture, and Mediterranean climate. You will find a wide range of holiday rentals in Los Angeles, ranging from beach houses to luxurious apartment hotels.

Getting to Your Los Angeles Accommodation

The city's biggest airport is Los Angeles International Airport, or LAX. You can fly directly to Los Angeles from all major cities in the United States and from a number of international destinations, including Sydney. The flight time from Sydney to Los Angeles is about 14 hours. Qantas, United, American Airways, Virgin Australia, and Delta all offer direct flights between Sydney and Los Angeles. Various public buses depart for the city from each terminal (rental homes tend to be dispersed throughout Los Angeles, so it's best to plan individually). You can also opt for a taxi.

Hiring a car at the airport will enable you to most easily explore the city and surrounding area. Your drive time to your accommodation will depend on which part of Los Angeles you choose to stay in.

What to Eat on Your Holiday in Los Angeles

There are a number of iconic dishes in Los Angeles. In Venice Beach, look for a food truck offering fish tacos. Eating a fish taco while in front of the ocean is one of the ultimate Los Angeles experiences. Another can't-miss, inexpensive Los Angeles culinary experience is a burger at In-N-Out. Vegetarian? No problem—ask for a grilled cheese, "animal-style" (meaning smothered in fried onions); you won't regret it.

Travel to the Little Saigon neighborhood to try an excellent bowl of traditional pho at a restaurant like Pho 79. In nearby Korea Town, head to spots like Sun Nong Dan for galbi jjim, spicy stewed beef short ribs and rice cake, topped with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Quality Seafood is a perennially busy Los Angeles institution. Fresh seafood is brought in from the boats on a constant basis and you can pick what you want to eat and they will cook it in the upstairs dining room. The catch of the day often includes crab, calamari, local oysters, and shrimp.
