Also, anything close to Santa Monica is overwhelming yet too costly. I'd suggest looking for smaller neighborhoods preferably in The Valley. West Hollywood) is a big pile of dirtiness with people wandering around. It's just too overrated and won't meet your expectations. I lived in Hollywood and I would avoid this place at any cost. Also, you can feel the Californication vibe on every step. There are so many different places such as parks, lakes, hills, mountains, beaches, etc.
The city is just amazing and offers dozens of outdoor activities. It's one of the best summers I have ever had in my life. I spent 4 months working here during summertime. It's one of those places where you always want to get back, at least temporarily :D With all of the above said, I will for sure return to this city again and can't say I'm not missing it. Otherwise, get prepared for long walks throughout your place of stay. I suggest either using the metro or renting a car which is probably the best option in LA. Get ready to wait a long turn before you get to a bus. Also, the public transport of LA is not reliable especially if you use bus transportation. You will end up getting ignored and in the worst case, people will stop any contact with you. If you were to make deeper friendships here, this is not a place to go.
Another thing I disliked was the huge social distancing towards foreigners which is most likely part of the American culture. One of the things I also didn't like was the lack of cultural influence and this is for sure not a city that will offer nice architecture.
