My 20-year-old son, a college junior, has just been accepted for an internship for a film production company in Marina Del Rey. He will not have a car, so we’re hoping he could ride his bike, which he plans to take, and/or take public transportation. The nearest university is Loyola Marymount, although he will not be far from UCLA either. It looks as if UCLA used to offer housing for interns, but no longer. We are open to exploring sublets. Does anyone know if Airbnb is a good option? My son will need to be there for about six weeks, from early July to mid-August. Any assistance anyone could render will be much appreciated.
My son said he knew someone who stayed in an Airbnb for an internship. I also would look in the Craigslist for temporary housing to see if someone has a room to rent.
My kids had good luck finding summer housing in New York and Boston using Craigslist. We’ve seen some scams on there though. Don’t commit to anything sight unseen.
