The westside is the postcard LA: ocean air, the pier, Abbot Kinney's shops and the beach-town pace.
Central to the icons and the nightlife, near Griffith, the Walk of Fame, the Sunset Strip and the studios. WeHo is the polished, walkable end; Hollywood proper is grittier but convenient.
The eastside is where LA feels most like a real city: DTLA's rooftop bars and galleries, Silver Lake and Los Feliz's cafes, vintage shops and hillside walks.
The building and lawns are free, the view is the one every movie steals, and it's the moment LA finally makes sense.
