The level of desperation people have to live there is something I've never seen before.
Looking for a sublease at the moment. Maximum 3 months for now. Wouldn't be opposed to a roommate, provided that person is normal and not some drama school hipster.
Everywhere in my range wants minimum 12 months lease. Looking between 850-1k.
Anyone use westside rentals? Was the $60 fee worth it?

It's $60 now? Used to be $30. Search for online codes for a discount.
It is really good especially looking for a guesthouse type situation.
Also check out Craigslist under Sub-Lets and AirnB.com

Any decent extended-stay hotels near Hollywood/Los Feliz? Even out in valley if close to Ventura is a possibility.
I'd like to be close to the red line. Seems like it's probably better to see these places in person first.

The $60 is only worth it if you are looking for a place solo, and not for subleases. Craigslist for roommates.
Try padmapper. Legit.

I'll look at it. Thanks.
Any extended stay hotel recommendation, something with fridge/microwave?

Westside Rentals is a treasure chest compared to Craigslist. Well worth the $60. I just signed up last week and was super impressed on it.

McQueen - I owe you a drink when I'm in town. JW on the rocks, Old fashioned - you name it.
Still a bit higher than what I'd like to pay, but for the first month, looks solid. No contracts is always a plus.

Can you explain why it's impressive?

It is definitely worth it! I found both the places I stayed in Santa Monica on Westside Rentals.

I noticed that about LA.
I know once I'm there I'll have more options once I hit the nightlife. For now, I just want a solid place 1 or 2 months then take it from there.

I'm likely going to be starting up an apartment search myself in the next few days. If someone here's interested in going half-and-half on a membership PM me.
