Movies and more in one of LA's hottest neighborhoods
Best known as the epicenter of the US film industry, the Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles is home to more than just movie stars, with an ethnically diverse population of nearly 80,000 people. Not surprisingly, the area has plenty of theaters and performance spaces, as well as enough sightseeing to keep even the biggest movie buff busy for days. Be sure to look up for a glimpse of the famous Hollywood sign towering overhead in the Hollywood Hills (just get out of the way of the tour buses first).
Stars in the skies and under your feet
Hollywood Boulevard is the heart of it all, with the brass stars of the Walk of Fame lining the sidewalks in front of the iconic Chinese Theater. A Hollywood vacation rental in the Hollywood Hills will put you in a prime spot for Instagram-worthy shots of the iconic Hollywood sign. As an added bonus, you'll have unbeatable panoramic views of downtown LA. While you're up there, pay homage to the stars of the celestial variety at Griffith Observatory. Be sure to save time for an outdoor concert at the famous Hollywood Bowl, or visit the legends of the past at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
Soak up the glitz and glamor of the film industry
In a city known for traffic, the best way to experience Hollywood is to get out and walk the streets. Your efforts will be rewarded by top-notch sightseeing that's rivaled only by the people watching. The vintage movie houses and hotels will give you a true taste of old Hollywood. To increase your celebrity-spotting chances, hop on one of the movie star home tours, where you'll also be treated to some of LA's other top highlights. For some retail therapy, head to the Hollywood & Highland Center or pick up some vintage vinyl at the iconic Amoeba Music on Sunset Boulevard.
Warm winters and even warmer summers
You can leave the winter parkas behind when you head to your Hollywood vacation rental, where you'll enjoy mild to warm weather year round. Dry summers last from June through October, with highs peaking in the 80s from July to September. The high temps are only about 20 degrees cooler in the coldest months of December to February, with lows just barely dipping into the 40s at night, though the Santa Ana winds can bring dry, hot, and dusty days. Southern California is known for its below average rainfall, unless El Nino decides to come to town.
Bright lights, big city
If you're craving a taste of the big city life, a Hollywood vacation rental is for you. Smack in the center of vibrant Los Angeles, Hollywood comes with all the bustling crowds and urban energy that you'd expect (plus a healthy dose of that famous LA traffic). The Hollywood Hills offer some welcome open space and refreshing nature, particularly in sprawling Griffith Park, where you can take a step back and enjoy the views of the pulsing city below. Most of your wildlife viewing will come in the form of the unrivaled people watching on Hollywood and Sunset Boulevards.
