From a born and raised LA native. Weather is 85-90% the same year round. The things you mentioned are true. Light jacket or sweater is usually the rule year round and something a bit sturdier during winter months.
Transportation. Spot on. If you can, rent a car way easier, safer, convenient than public transit..but in LA it might depend on where you're going and what time. An Uber is just easier depending on distance. Traffic or dirty public transit, pick your poison kinda situation. GO EARLY! Wherever you go, go early! Anything or anywhere between 3pm-730/8 is traffic nightmare you can do a lot by knowing this and avoid sitting in traffic. Good point on taking the streets instead of freeways during rush hour.
Safety. Don't carry your luggage everywhere. Avoid showing off shopping bags once you park for your next destination. Hide them in backseat or cover with towel in trunk if you're moving stuff around a lot during the day.
Deals. You're right on deals. Usually Google reviews on nearby Eats isn't far off I've learned. There's TONS I mean TONS of places to eat don't always go for what's easily in front of you.
One thing I'll emphasize that you did mention is visit by area. For example...if you wanna go to Hollywood then plan a day around it, plan a day around the beach, around downtown, etc. Driving between 2 distances can be exhausting so try and avoid it.
You filmed areas in Hollywood very close to me you must live nearby perhaps lol. Good luck everyone!

For 3rd June, 2024: Gotta make my comment. Why am I watching this video? It appeared on my home page. We just returned from Los Angeles.. My partner and myself.. We were there for 13 days in early May. We stayed in West Hollywood on Fuller. What you say about the subway couldn't be further from the truth. In fact.. We stayed away from the subway for the first two days because of what had been related about it in online forums and videos such as this. So.. On day 3.. I said.. I'm going on the subway.. We went on the subway.. From Hollywood and Vine.. Great station.. Fantastic station.. Rode the train from Vine to Union.. Actually the stop before it. Was Great.. Interesting peoples.. Not dirty at all. Talked to a few of the locals.. Some very interesting characters on the subway.. Walked around downtown for a bit.. Interesting. I highly recommend getting a Tap card and riding the buses as well. We often got the 217 and the 2. I walked a lot day and night.. Love my walks. Walked from the Whiskey to West Hollywood.. Though my partner tires easily and she prefers the bus.. But Nonetheless I love my walks. There was no danger there. Yes.. There are quite a few homeless and Yes it's Sad.. They are harmless for the most part.. But Yes.. It's sad. Helped a few of them out. Walked from Beverly down to near Wilshire.. Good walk. It's quite easy to walk around Hollywood.. However.. The bus is convenient.. But I get my bearings better when I walk it. Walked into Bel Air as well.. Which is another world.. Another dimension. You can get the tour bus.. We Did.. But it can feel cheap.. And really.. You can walk around the Holmby hills and Bel Air on foot.. That way you at least half don't look like a tourist.. Refer to my videos. Avoid driving. Well for me Yes.. As for driving on the other side of the road. I'm from Sydney Australia.. And driving on the other side of the road proved too stressful for me even though I consider myself and excellent driver but Didn't get to attempt it as we didn't have a credit card which the company required even though google said we wouldn't need one. We got a taxi a few places around Hollywood for a very reasonable fair. The dash buses are free.. But seriously.. Walking it is really good.
We also went to Vegas for 4 days.. Yes.. We saw the Stones.. A Shit fight for the tickets on line as we thought we could just turn up at the box office at Allegiants and avoid the online admin charges.. Ahhhh No.. But we battled through on Michelle's phone which only had one bar of battery left and got very good budget tickets up on the side from stage.
The next day I opted to walk from Fremont.. I highly recommend Fremont.. Back to MGM Grand Signature.. Airbnb/Lavish/Great price where we were staying. My partner opted to get a taxi back to MGM from Fremont.. I was excited about walking it. The walk.. How was it? Wonderful.. This was about 11pm at night.. AHHH Good.. In fact about the half way mark.. I decided to wander off Las Vegas Blvd and go into some side streets.. I wanted to see some common houses there.. Those streets are pretty dark.. But it was interesting.. I was actually thinking a local might have come out and asked me in for a cup of tea or Strong beverage.. No.. That did not occur. Also.. About the half way point of my walk that night I thought.. Not sue how much of a good idea this was as my feet were getting sore.. But I troopered on.. Saw some Interesting characters. I got back on Las Vegas Blvd and got back to the hotel about 90 minutes laters. Very tired.. Feet and legs sore.. But.. Mission Accomplished.. That was May 12.. And had a spa when back at hotel room.. As our room came with a spa..(was that tfi?) And a spicy Modella. By the way can't get Modella back in Sydney.
I also recommend the Greyhound if you are not driving.. But sit at the front which is the best view. Maybe Avoid Greyhound though as our driver was very unprofessional and lost peoples luggage.. Depends what driver you get.. I would go with Flix bus.. The green one.. Even though we've never gone with Flix.. Just the driver of Greyhound Was unprofessional. So.. Walking in Hollywood/West Hollywood is good. I did long walks even at night.

Good video for tourists. I would recommend checking out Olvera Street, Chinatown, and Exposition Park, too. They are all accessible via the LA Metro, too.

I would slightly disagree with your description of the subway. It's gotten a lot better since last year and during the worst of Covid. LA Metro has many more security officers, transit ambassadors, and cleaning crews on all the stations now.

The subway stations have unique designs and artwork too which would be of interest to tourists. However, I would recommend to be very mindful after dark. During the day, it's really not a problem anymore. The subway feels more like it used to be before Covid. It's also a great deal with a weekly pass of $18 for unlimited use of the 6 Metro rail lines and the hundreds of bus routes.

First let me say, I love your very informative videos. Second, I love LA!!!!
I like to stay in a few days in West Hollywood area and do the things I like there then stay a few days in Santa Monica area and hang at the beach area. That traffic is no joke, but I still love LA. ( As soon as I hit the lotto, I'll move there, lol)

From someone who's from the Los Angeles area, if you're planning to come for warmth and sunny weather in May or June. It's not the best time for that. We have our so-called "May gray" and "June gloom."" Many days of cloudy and overcast weather. It's due to the heavy marine layer. But from July-December. Yes, we have our typical full-blown sunny days. Were many times we don't see a single cloud in the sky.

Only 1 tip you need, get out as fast as you can 😂 I grew up there before it became Chicago west …

One, ☝️ of the TEN, tips of visiting Los Angeles, California ?
1. Avoid, and try not to run into depression, causing “STUCK UP “ Rude, Mother Fucker’s
2. Like the presenter, have mentioned. Be ready to deal, and get accustomed to heavy traffic, L.A.’s traffic, is like a parking lot.
3. As an L.A. native, who has lived here for more than 40, years. Thing’s to do here are endless !!!! So spending 3, days in L.A. is not enough
