Packing for a month in Los Angeles

The houses are stocked for a week. For a month, the gaps show up in the same places every time: a second set of towels, a proper knife, and something warm for the evening — the valley drops fifteen degrees after sunset even in July.

What you do not need to bring: kitchen basics, laundry supplies, beach towels, or a desk setup. Every home has a working surface, a chair that is actually a chair, and wired-speed Wi-Fi.

Tell us before you arrive if you need anything specific — a cot, a monitor, a second parking space — and it will be there when you walk in.
