Family-friendly holiday rentals in Central LA, Los Angeles

This was our second stay here, and it was just as wonderful as the first. The pool is beautiful, and the host is truly exceptional. We really appreciated the warmth and comfort throughout our stay. Plus, there are plenty of great places to eat nearby. Highly recommend!

I had an amazing experience here. The photos and description match the place perfectly and it was so peaceful and happy. I felt like I was in my own little peaceful orbit. Thank you so much Ethan. I highly appreciate and recommend this spot.

We had a great time at Peter's home. The location was great for our needs. Peter was super helpful and attentive to our questions. The first night we walked to the Thai restaurant Otus nearby and had a fantastic meal. We loved having the extra bedroom in the annex. And the hot tub was heavenly. A big bonus for us . Loved the whole experience .

We had a delegation come to visit the US, to see Los Angeles. This place was perfect, very nice and James was always receptive to anything, always answering my questions and going out of his way to help. I would highly recommend this place and host!

Norvell’s home away from home was perfect for us. We had a family wedding and needed a big, comfortable place with a great kitchen. This place was perfect. It was spacious, but the layout made it feel even more spacious. There are stairs as you enter which lead to the main level. The extra long table was ideal for our family. I had to do some cooking, and the large island was amazing for prep. We especially loved coffee on the front deck. There are lots of bathrooms and comfy beds. Honestly, I was so grateful for this beautiful home. Weddings can be stressful; Norvell and his home took away any complications. This place is wonderful! He is a very responsive and friendly host.

This home is truly as unique and spectacular as it looks. From outside to inside, there is something in every direction to engage your attention and bring a smile. At the same time, it is a relaxing space with so many places to hang out comfortably. Five of us, from three generations, spent a delightful three days here and would have been happy to stay on. The creativity, care and quirkiness that went into its creation are a perfect reflection of its host. Al was always super responsive and helpful, in addition to being a great storyteller and musician. (I highly recommend checking out Al and Leslie’s music videos.) Definitely read through the notes on the entire listing to make sure that this is a fit for your group. If it is, you are in for an amazing treat.

Hallgrim was a very gracious host. We were moving from another Airbnb & needed a place to stow our refrigerated food for 3 hours. He easily accommodated that & ultimately said we could just check in early. One caveat - be sure you understand the street parking protocol. It works but it can be tight, especially late at night. We always found a spot but you will need good parallel parking skills. The house is personal & eclectic & you will feel like you are staying at a good friend’s house. This is not the usual “just the basics” corporate Airbnb. It is a home. My daughter & I felt very comfortable staying here & would definitely book it again. The Canyon has a unique history. In addition to looking thru the beautiful coffee table book Hallgrim has left out for his guests to enjoy, you must watch Echo in the Canyon for an extended stroll through the musical history of this unique canyon. You’ll be singing Mamas and Papas songs on your way down to Lilly’s Cafe in no time!

Beautifully landscaped mountain house with rustic charm and an abundance of views and moments. Lynne is also very communicative and attentive. Dog friendly. Overall a delightful stay!

I loved my stay here at Mary’s place, and especially enjoyed spending time on the deck enjoying the sunset. Mary was a kind and courteous host and her space is private, comfortable and has everything you need to cook if desired. My only con is that you can hear the upstairs neighbor walking around quite loudly, and sometimes very late at night. Bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper. Otherwise, a perfect location to relax and explore the city, especially close to Atwater Village, Los Feliz, Highland Park and Echo Park.

The Cozy Cottage was so lovely 🤩 it was perfectly decorated, comfy, a safe area, and simply quaint! Definitely recommend! The host is super helpful, very hospitable and super friendly and efficient. It was the perfect spot to stay at for my short trip to Cali. Five stars and then some 🌟 👏🏻

Clara and David’s home was everything I thought it would be and more! Loved the privacy and the neighborhood was beautiful with lots of stores, bars, and restaurants nearby. I highly recommend the space to anyone visiting LA!

Kristin and Richard run an incresibly nice studio behind their house in South Pasadena. It had great amenities, felt very private, and was centrally located with great access to activities in the area. Checking in was a breeze and Kristin and Richard were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Besides the studio being clean and well stocked, I was delighted at the natural features of the property, their adjacent garden/ small animal enclosures. I would definitely stay again without hesitation.

A wonderful host, a great spot, lots to see and do, and a private peaceful setting in a beautiful backyard. This is a great Airbnb experience, and the next time we have to be in Burbank, we will certainly go there again!

Big thanks to Linda for letting us stay at her listing. It was clean, conveniently located, and perfect for me, my husband and our 2 small dogs. Linda was great to work with; extremely communicative, friendly, and had a helpful booklet with excellent local recommendations. We strongly recommend her listing.

I hadn’t realized it was a landmark home at the time of booking but when I realized it made my trip extra fun! Because of my curly hair, my family used to call me “Cory” so this made some memorable photos. The main reason I selected this listing was the resort like privacy in both the front and back yard. I find many hosts create restricting and unreasonable expectations for guests with dogs, when I asked I was promptly assured it was a welcoming home and he would have tons of space to play without worry. My dog rarely gets opportunities to play and run off leash and this is was really the biggest reason for booking. The large grass, huge trees, and fully covered fences from bushes and trees made even the hottest day a cool relaxing time outside. All amenities are available and in abundance, support was phenomenal and responded to everything wtihing what felt loke only minutes. It is such a cool home and I will miss it dearly. I will 10000% book again when I return to the area.

I loved this place. It was immaculate and just as described. Great location. Safe. Quiet. Great backyard and hammock plus little sitting area. The decor and design are the nicest I’ve been in any place here. I can’t recommend this place highly enough

The place was super clean and had everything we needed. Maggie was super responsive whenever we had a question. We felt right at home. We enjoyed the privacy and how safe we felt.

Charlotte’s place was super cute and so peaceful. We loved the outdoor area. It did not feel like we were in the heart of LA. The host was great, very good communication . Great stay, I would recommand it.

Such a lovely cottage with beautiful landscaping. Easy to get in and out. Quiet. Michael was a great host and welcomed us when we arrived. The welcome sign was a special touch!

We want to say a huge thank you to these unbelievable hosts. Their house is incredible, they were very fast to respond to all inquiries, we desperately needed a crib and they came over to put one together for us. These are really amazing hosts with beautiful home. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for an Airbnb in LA! Thank you again!

Deborah was an amazing host to deal with, very clear and accommodating. The house itself was a wonderful place in a great location so no complaints whatsoever. I’d highly recommend Deborah as a host and we will be making sure to see what she has on offer in the future when we return for sure. Ash Vincent

First off I want to say the pictures don’t do the back yard any justice. It’s so beautiful and the perfect get away trip without having to break the bank. Definitely worth every penny We loved it and we will be returning again! P.s. Just make sure you bring some bug spray there is a bunch of mosquitos in the back yard, we didn’t have any so don’t be us lol. 🙌

2nd time staying here. Again was very happy. Great and beautiful location. Quiet. Safe. Parking right in front. Hosts responsive to needs. We needed a few things 1st night and they were immediately taken care of. Such a beautiful location. Excellent stay for the money. Highly recommend

Peaceful and safe, yet still close to everything you’d want to do. 5 minute walk to restaurants and 15 min walk to grocery. There was always room for street parking but I just used Uber to get around. Cute little place to stay. Very clean and quiet. A little table to sit at or a comfortable chair inside. Outside is a pool with outdoor furniture and a tree swing. There is a lot of natural light and a motion light on at night, so if you’re light sensitive when sleeping just bring an eye mask. Patrick is a nice guy. He showed me around and explained everything when I arrived. He had some good recommendations. I didn’t need anything except the batteries changed in the tv remote once and he took care of it quickly. I’d stay here again!
