Beach, hillside and Westside homes command the highest nightly rates; the Valley trades lower rates for more space and pools.
Each added bedroom raises the nightly rate, and homes with a bathroom for every bedroom price higher.
Public data puts the pool premium at roughly 6 to 13 percent on nightly rates.
A nicely remodeled, well-photographed home books more nights at a higher rate than a dated one next door.
Rates that move with weekends, holidays, events and lead time fill more nights than one flat price.
In the City of Los Angeles a regular Home-Sharing registration caps hosting at 120 nights a year, which caps income too.
