Santa Monica....but I'm biased

Personally, I would think somewhere in West LA, Santa Monica, Marina Del Ray, or Venice. I have to think based on your desired clients, that would be the best choices. And those locations are close to LAX.

If you think in terms of a Hub, then geographically, West Hollywood or Studio City. WeHo is trendier and a bit more centrally located, but traffic can really wreak havoc with scheduling, and street parking has become a serious issue for non-residents. Studio City is a bit out of the way for the Westside, but it is easily accessible by freeway, can service clientele from Downtown to the West Valley and of course Hollywood.

my 2 cents.

IMHO, with a city the size of Los Angeles, there is no central location.  The spread out geography of Los Angeles and with all of the traffic, I don't believe there is a central location.

Downtown LA - between Westside, OC and SGV with fewer traffic congestion issues.

Many years back a fellow john once posted that he preferred LAX because he could tell his wife that he was picking up a colleague, such as someone visiting the LA office. And with traffic being what it is and delayed flights, well this gave him plenty of time to hobby. Now that all depends on your point of origin, LA is so vast that you could spend an hour plus (depending on the time of day) to get from one side of LA to another. Many visiting ladies prefer LAX and I concur. The downside…..traffic almost all the time in any direction.  

Now regarding the time of clients solely based on geography; I believe this to be invalid. This is LA and while you can say parts of west LA represents a large portion of regional wealth; people choose to live in many areas for many reasons. An example is an attorney that deals with many of the local financial and business institutions in and around Pasadena’s Lake Blvd district may choose to have his offices nearby or live nearby. Does he have any less financial means in which to hobby?  He just father to travel if he wants to hobby. I will capitulate a higher frequency of such means is found in parts of west LA.

The valley (Studio City and other locales.)

I prefer studio city and other-decent parts of the valley for early afternoon visits, evenings and weekends than the westside. Parking is generally plentiful and if any issues arise (NCNS-flake, delay,fake pics) you can find a decent spot such as a Starbucks almost everywhere in which to use your laptop to work on plan b, if you didn’t have one already. BTW; Van Nuys, Canoga Park, Reseda, West Hills….are not decent parts of the valley and guys with nice cars get nervous about leaving your car unattended/on the street.  If I need to head over to the west side from the valley because of aforementioned reasons, then you have several options. Thru the canyon roads and freeway are good. The downside is traffic during rush hour out of the valley on the 101 is a bitch.

Some centrally located areas have bad parking situations; street cleaning days, 1 hour max parking, or even worse no parking.

Also, guard gated apartments are great for residents but many times the codes don't work and there's no emtpy guest parking spots.

North Hollywood, Studio City,and Sherman Oaks are centrally located but parking always seems to be a problem. That's while I rarely go to incall locations.

...no seriously it's where all the money is so why don't girls ever come here?

No, seriously
It is Centrally located and that's where LE don't bother to even bother, so it's good.

I think that, unfortunately, you are better served doing 1 or 2 days (max) in each area, and moving hotels.  Maybe the Valley for a day, downtown for a day, LAX area for a day, etc.

I go down there at least once a month and always stay close to LAX because it's less of a hassle than staying downtown. Of course the farther you go away from LAX the seedier things seem to get.
