\n\tProximity, value, variety and hospitality (with bonus points for \u201ccool factor\u201d). That\u2019s what we considered when narrowing down where to stay in L.A. near Universal Studios<\/a> Hollywood. <\/p>\n

\n\tWhen zeroing in on the perfect Airbnb<\/a> \u2014 especially when organizing a trip around a landmark \u2014 there are a few potential hurdles. Sometimes, it\u2019s tricky to pinpoint a property\u2019s exact location or the specifications of its surrounding area. Other times, its placement on Airbnb<\/a>\u2018s virtual map isn\u2019t entirely accurate (we ran into that a couple of times). And occasionally, hosts can be tough to get ahold of. Regardless, there are a lot of factors at play when booking an Airbnb as a non-local.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen vetting rentals for this story, we spoke with each property manager directly to get the exact distance from their listing to the movie-studio-meets-theme-park, all indicated below (listings rarely include this information). Through this process, we also found the hosts of the below properties to be especially responsive and helpful. Apart from our experience, each of these hosts and their corresponding properties have dozens, if not hundreds, of exceptional reviews on Airbnb\u2019s website<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tAs you\u2019ll notice, we have not included pricing information as it can vary quite a bit based on factors like length of stay, season and how far in advance guests book. Nonetheless, we did our best to reflect a variety of price points. Below, the nine best L.A. Airbnbs whether you\u2019re visiting Universal Studios or simply seeking a central location in the City of Angels.<\/p>\n
