Creator's Key Takeaways

One of the questions I get over and over again is, "Chris, I'm coming to Los Angeles. Where should I stay?"

I'm going to go ahead and share my screen so we can take a look at a map.

Downtown LA does get pretty sketchy at night.

I don't recommend Hollywood. I really don't.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Consider breaking up your LA stay into multiple different neighborhoods because it is so big.
✓If you're going to Universal Studios, just go ahead and stay there.
✓If you're going to Disneyland, stay on property for perks or off property to save money.
✓If you're going to Malibu, stay in Santa Monica and do Malibu as a day trip.
✓If you're going to the beach, stay as close as possible to the water because it's cooler.
