A historic home – this guest house apartment is located just a few blocks away from the Rose Bowl and Old Town Pasadena with world-class boutiques and restaurants. 

From the exterior of the home, Spanish-style architecture invites guests into a Mediterranean-like escape, all while residing just a twenty-minute drive away from downtown LA. Inside, contemporary furnishings, cosy textures and a neutral colour scheme pave the way to a relaxing stay. We particularly love the unique layout of the main living area and open plan kitchen, which invites guests to come together in a sociable setting amongst the day or night's adventures in the city. 

From here, get both the city lifestyle and the laid-back ambience of being just a forty-five-minute drive away from the beach. And when you feel like simply chilling out at home, you can soak up the sun from the garden's wooden decking with a barbecue and alfresco dining area to yourselves too.

Smoked Brass is a bit of an all-around gem. Dating back to the 1920s, it's designed as a space to live in rather than an art installation to be admired as such. Sophisticated yet cosy interiors present a comfortable space that combines contemporary style with classic furnishings throughout the home. We particularly love the cottage-like grid windows that add a touch of the English countryside to this Californian mid-century home. With flora and fauna aplenty, the garden offers a sanctuary of peace and serenity and, importantly – privacy. And while pools aren't uncommon in these parts of the city, this one is particularly delightful. Spend your days sipping iced coffee on the day beds, with the option to take a relaxing dip, should the California sunshine with heat. The local area of Pasadena offers different prospects to some of L.A's glitzier areas as it is generally a much quieter and more residential area. However, with everything you need within walking distance (if not a quick drive out), this place serves as a dreamy 'escape' from the city while still only a half an hour drive away from Hollywood and Downtown L.A.

Design enthusiasts will love this striking home, conceived in Spanish Revival style by star architect Paul Williams. Built in 1929, this three-bedroom home combines characterful design elements such as wooden ceiling beams and moorish tiling with luxurious touches: think a private hot tub, a restaurant-quality ‘La Canche’ French stove and an enchanting bedroom set in its very own tower – Rapunzel, eat your heart out. Nestled within a gated community in the tranquil San Rafael Hills, this home is a fifteen-minute drive from charming Pasadena and closer still to the iconic Rose Bowl Stadium, making it the perfect choice for fans of American football. After a day exploring all that Los Angeles has to offer, cook up a feast on the state-of-the-art grill and savour your handiwork alfresco on the terrace, before finishing the day with a soak in the clawfoot bathtub or sipping a beer in the hot tub.

It's quite hard to find a home in Los Angeles where you don't have to rely on a car to get around. Luckily, Best Of Bastet is within walking distance to Gold Line Metro, which will quickly get you to the beach. The surrounding area is also walkable – the tourists haven’t discovered Highland Park yet, and there are all sorts of cafes, restaurants, and independent shops (including several record stores) for you to explore. While the outsides of this home look unassuming, the interior has been designed with an eye for minimalism. The home isn't bare, but rather balanced with sleek wishbone chairs and other Scandi-inspired furniture, which leaves plenty of space for plants. There's a neatly paved terrace right outside where you can chill out and get the fire pit going, as well as a bright living room where you can relax during the day. If you do end up purchasing vinyl during your stay, you'll get to listen to them before you get home too, as this home is equipped with a neat gramophone.

From this pretty street between LA's super trendy Silver Lake and Elysian Heights neighbourhoods, you can see all the way to the Hollywood sign. It's a fabulous location, with Echo Park just a five-minute drive away. Inside, this charming little home has been recently renovated to create an up-to-date look with a modern, high-end kitchen and a stylish bathroom with a clawfoot bath. The bedrooms are peaceful and elegant in their simplicity and the living area, open to the kitchen, is roomy enough for up to four. But it's the garden we're really here for. Head down the steps and into your own magical little world of twinkling lights and scented flowers, with a dirt yard and a big dining table so you can spend your evenings out in the warm air.

Charm and character are in abundance at this luxury home in Glendale. Fusing rustic charm with contemporary touches, you can expect wooden beams, a Kiva fireplace and enclosed gardens featuring a swimming pool and hot tub. Enjoy views over Downtown Los Angeles or read a book in the California Hacienda-style courtyard that acts as a quiet retreat not far from the vibrant heart of LA. It's only a short drive to Pasadena and Griffith Park. That said, when staying in such an elegant oasis, you could just as easily stay in and enjoy the impressive surroundings of this Hollywood home.

Powder pink and pretty much perfect, this stunning home in Atwater Village has been the star of many a design publication since it was completed. An architect-designed remodel of a war-era 'prefab' bungalow, its new lease of life has allowed its form to really shine, with contemporary styling that just begs to be photographed.  

Set on a quiet, leafy road, it sits within carefully landscaped gardens, where tropical planting creates a sense of privacy and a large deck gives you somewhere to hang out together in the sunshine. 

Inside, the sociable layout makes everyone feel right at home, with vaulted ceilings, a comfy seating area and huge sliding doors to the garden. The kitchen is stylish and unique, with everything you'll need for cooking at home, and you'll soon spot that painted MDF panels and built-in furniture are a bit of a theme here.

Our favourite room in the house, the master bedroom, is bright and spacious, with a big pivot door leading to a little lawned area outside. Elsewhere in the main house, there's a second bedroom with digital all-in-one gym equipment, two stylish bathrooms and a pretty nursery, while the guest house in the garden can be your fourth bedroom or maybe an office if you'll be working during your stay.

Just a short walk from some great places to eat and drink, this place is handy for hiking in the hills, visiting Los Angeles Zoo, Downtown LA, Silver Lake and much more, too. A bang-on-trend combination of vintage good looks, clever design and super smart technology (think lightning-fast broadband, an electric vehicle charger, multiple streaming channels and Bose surround sound) we think this home is sitting pretty – in pink.

Located in the Franklin Hills area of Los Feliz, this Spanish-style home offers comfortable LA living with a great location from which you can easily access many of the sights and activities on offer. Start your mornings here with a healthy fruit smoothie made in the blender, sipped as you enjoy views of the Silver Lake Hills from your mini veranda.

Catch up on any work in the study space or work up a sweat with the exercise equipment as you lift weights or practise your yoga poses. Then shower off and get ready for a day of exploring. Take on the hiking and running trails, which can be reached in as little as eight minutes on foot. Or, drive eleven minutes to Griffith Park and admire the views of the Hollywood sign from the observatory. Go shopping on Rodeo Drive – reachable in twenty-two minutes by car, wander the Hollywood Walk of Fame – an eleven-minute drive away, or even go on a tour of Paramount Pictures Studio – just nine minutes away by car. 

Furnished with mid-century style sofas and funky vintage pieces, this home is great for relaxing in the evening after a busy day. For dinner, you can choose to eat at one of the many local restaurants – reachable in as little as six minutes on foot, or take advantage of the home’s vintage Okeefe & Merritt oven and cook at home. 

Días Felices

Elegant hardwood floors, mid-century-inspired design and plenty of windows to allow that year-round SoCal sunshine to flood in – there's so much to love about this enchanting single-storey home. The best part? The fact that you're in the middle of the city and yet surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens filled with fragrant citrus and pine trees.

An adobe-style shell gives way to a clean white interior that's an absolute delight to spend time in. Equipped with an inviting corner sofa, seating for six around the dinner table and a hidden nook for those needing to fire off some emails, the home strikes a perfect balance for those in town for work and play. And if no one's expecting to hear from you during your downtime? All the better.

The creative enclave of Los Feliz is one of the city's coolest spots. From local independent boutiques to tempting brunch spots and morning hikes through Griffith Park – everything is within walking distance of your front door. In addition, Beach lovers can venture to the coast by private or public transport – Santa Monica's storied pier is 20 miles away, while the endless golden stretches of Malibu are a little over forty minutes from your home.

Lemons in Los Angeles

We love the laid-back feel of the Highland Park district, and we think this bright and cosy apartment is the ideal base for a couple or a solo traveller to enjoy all that the City of Stars has to offer. With a ten-minute drive from Downtown, and a twenty-minute drive to Hollywood, as well as walking distance to a wide array of local shops and restaurants, you are sure to enjoy every moment of your stay. 

The apartment itself offers sweet, comfortable repose after a day of dashing about town. Should you fancy a quiet evening in, the well-appointed kitchen will make rustling up a quick dinner a breeze, while the charming outdoor space invites a relaxing drink or two afterwards. The spacious living area is a great place to kick off your shoes and choose a movie, courtesy of free Apple TV, or simply enjoy a glass of California wine, with the record player on. 

The stylish bedroom, with its comfy bed and blackout curtains, carries the promise of restful sleep, a prospect especially enticing if you choose to first take advantage of the many vibrant nightlife spots you’ll find within walking distance.

With its array of breweries, coffee shops, and restaurants, where better to make your West Coast base than right here in Downtown LA? In touching distance of it all, this glamorous apartment suite sits high up in the skyline, boasting wonderful views of the city. With floor-to-ceiling windows in the sleeping quarters, you don't even have to move from your bed to take in these sights either. Inside, the interior runs with a monochromatic theme to keeps things simple, but it's the building's shared amenities that really catch the eye. Guests can enjoy access to an outdoor heated swimming pool complete with cabanas and chaise longues running around the sides, while just next door to this there's a full-length basketball court in case you want to shoot some hoops. What's more, in true LA style, you can also make full use of the fitness centre with a Peloton room, plus a sauna and steam room as a reward for afterwards.

In the heart of Los Feliz, this Spanish-style villa is a creative's dream retreat.

When it’s time to explore, you’re minutes from Hollywood, Silver Lake and some of LA's best cafes, restaurants and boutiques.

Velvet Palms

This small apartment might not be the most high-end of our homes but it's fresh-feeling, stylishly decorated and a pleasant space to spend time in. Its immediate neighbourhood is on the gritty side, and you may be able to hear noise from the street from inside the home but it's a nice, well-priced base, with lots of natural light and high quality appliances.

For an authentic slice of East LA combined with West Hollywood style, look no further than this newly built boho retreat located in the hills of City Terrace. Climb the sweeping stairs up to the front terrace and take a seat at this scenic spot that looks out over the historic neighbourhood towards LA's Arts District and Downtown.

Taking inspiration from that timeless and elegant mid-century style, low-slung leather sofas and shapely seating made of natural materials abound, with wood flooring and houseplants rounding off the connection with nature. 

Large sliding doors bookend the open-plan living space, allowing LA's year-round sunshine to illuminate the interior, alongside easy access to a scenic front terrace and a charming patio out back.

This is swish living in the heart of downtown LA! Whether you’re visiting for a weekend or settling in for a month, this stylish home makes a chic and convenient base.

After a busy day traipsing around the city, come back home, pop a bottle of something bubbly, and chill out in your lovely living room. Better still, head out on the balcony with glittering cityscape views, or sprinkle some bath salts and relax in the deep soaking tub. And if you’re one of those people that destresses in the kitchen, you’ll love this sleek and modern affair made for gourmands.

This bright, modern home is the perfect base for a stay in Downtown Los Angeles. An up-and-coming location for business or leisure trips – or a combination of both – it gets you up close and personal to major landmarks like the Dodger Stadium, LA LIVE and the Los Angeles Convention Centre while also providing you with a stellar sampling of the city’s dining scene. This apartment is all about city simplicity but with two major selling points: the brilliant views and the building’s added extras. Along with the heated rooftop swimming pool and indoor fitness centre, there’s also a dedicated Peloton suite, a full-length basketball court, hot tub, steam room and sauna. If you find yourself with time at the weekend you’re also welcome to use the barbecue grills in the outdoor lounge. 

Keep It Easy

Offering handsome interiors, this home adds a touch of luxury to your LA stay. The biggest draw is, of course, the private rooftop terrace complete with a barbecue and dining area – ideal for evening suppers. You'll also find a shaded balcony with comfy seating for quieter moments out of the heat. If you're travelling for work, there's a study desk area in the bunk-bed room. Plus, you've got a sleek chef's kitchen for prepping homemade meals when you're not out sampling the local restaurants. Outside, you'll find Echo Park and the Silver Lake Reservoir just a short drive away. We recommend having a car here. 

Silver Lake Rooftop

This converted loft is the pinnacle of LA cool. Each facet is carefully considered, from the Ray Eames style furniture to the beautifully curated folk art. The cosy living room leads out onto a private patio where you can start the day with a coffee and a pastry. Next door there is a desk where you can squeeze in a little work before heading out to explore the city. 

Rose Hill is an artsy residential neighbourhood with cosy homes, and plenty of nearby hiking trails to explore, where you can see sprawling views of the city. The centre of Los Angeles is reachable in twenty minutes by car, where you can explore museums like Hauser & Wirth, eat bibimbap in Koreatown, go vintage shopping downtown, or head to the Dodger Stadium to see a game. 

The apartment is a joy to come home to after a day of sightseeing. Its most enviable feature is the verdant shared garden, full of native plants and a firepit to gather around on cooler nights. This apartment is well suited to longer stays and your host is on hand to provide tips and recommendations.

Nestled behind a 1913 craftsman house, you'll find this sweet studio home. It's a serene space with crisp, white walls and wooden beams. The outside space is shaded by a ficus tree, and is the perfect spot in which to enjoy some peace and quiet away from the buzz of the city. Sit in one of the rocking chairs and enjoy a glass of wine and a game of chess as you watch the hummingbirds flit between the shrubs. 

When it comes to exploring LA, this home is in an excellent location.
