I’m Ekaterina, founder of Live Like a Local. With a background in hospitality and nearly a decade of experience hosting in Los Angeles, I started this business to help property owners earn more while offering travelers unforgettable stays. What began with managing my own home grew into a full-service company trusted by homeowners across West LA, Santa Monica, Malibu, and beyond.
I’m passionate about design, staging, and photography — creating spaces that feel inviting, stylish, and memorable. My team and I handle every detail of short-term rental management: from guest communication and pricing optimization to cleanings and 5-star hospitality. With 500+ glowing reviews, our goal is simple — make hosting stress-free and profitable for owners, while making every guest feel truly at home.
