Right in the middle of the excitement of Los Angeles, this 1920s hacienda-style home offers a restful retreat in the heart of the city. Brimming with Spanish charm, there are plenty of endearing features here, from tall windows to expansive gardens complete with three adorable rescue rabbits. Speaking of the garden, there's plenty of outdoor space to soak up that famous California sunshine. Sip your morning coffee on the terrace, surrounded by fruit trees and colourful flowers before going out to explore. Head downtown to sample some authentic sushi in Little Tokyo, or if you're craving a little sea and sand, Venice Beach is the place to live that famous Cali lifestyle, offering a prime spot for sunbathing and surfing. After a day of soaking up all of the spectacular scenery and gorgeous weather, head home to make the most of a warm evening with a barbecue dinner in the garden. The fire pit is perfect for a cosy night in – toast some marshmallows and pour yourself a glass of wine to make the most of it.

Local guide
About Miracle Mile & La Brea
Miracle Mile and La Brea are home to many of the city's most important museums, including LACMA, The Petersen Automotive Museum, The Craft & Folk Museum, amongst others. We particularly recommend paying a visit to the La Brea Tar Pits and Museum, a must-visit for any fossil fans - over 3.5 million fossils have been found there and paleontologists still dig there 361 days a year! There are also lots of good eateries in this part of town.
