1. Why rent an apartment instead of a hotel room?

Apartments are the growing alternative to hotels in Los Angeles. They provide more space, cheaper rates and a wide range of alternatives. Travelers will find many advantages to renting apartments instead of staying in large, impersonal hotels. One of the main attractions is the degree of personal freedom which is enjoyed. While every itinerant traveler enjoys the cosseting attentions of a good hotel, most acknowledge the existence of a “satisfaction barrier” which is breached after a few days.. Apartment dwellers, by way of contrast, are free agents. Not only are they spared the sometimes inhibiting formality of dining room dress rules, they are also able to utilize the kitchen facility to cook inexpensively for themselves. Apartment rentals offer unparalleled privacy, larger quarters, a greater selection of locations and more flexibility in planning. The cost of a week’s stay in a one-bed roomed Los Angeles apartment will generally average out to be 30% cheaper than hotel accommodation in a standard double room. Women, actors and business people can stay in peace and quiet rather than fight through a hotel lobby. With their own kitchen facilities they need not go out to eat or go down to breakfast. Short-term rentals are usually located in the most convenient areas of town, right near public transportation.
