10 Stunning Staycation Spots in Los Angeles
This post was written in partnership with Airbnb, all opinions expressed are my own - as always!
I’m always in awe of the beautiful architecture, landscaping, and all around magic of Los Angeles homes. Forever peeping and creeping during neighborhood walks and drives around town! I have an Airbnb folder dedicated to just LA homes, filled with stunning properties I’m dreaming about one day staycationing at. I wanted to share some of those homes with you, in case you could use some future staycation inspo as well. You’ll probably notice I’m drawn to homes with lots of plants and beautiful outdoor spaces - naturally! All of these listings have dreamy patios/decks/balconies, perfect for lounging and taking it easy.
