Hidden away at the bottom of the Hollywood Hills, this extraordinary villa is packed full of luxurious amenities and a no-expense-spared approach to design. Outside, there's a pool and hot tub with an uninterrupted view of the sky, which is ideal for catching sunsets — or sunrises if you're an early riser. As well as that, there's a barbecue for whipping up alfresco suppers and balconies on the higher floors from which the twinkling lights of LA can be admired. Heading inside, it's hard to single out one standout room. The black kitchen and its huge island are certainly impressive, as is the huge living room with its grand fireplace and professional poker table. The master bedroom is something to behold too, thanks to the marble ensuite and adjoining lounge with mid-century furnishings. When you want to see some of the city's most famous sights, you don't even necessarily need a car. Hollywood Boulevard and its theatres take fifteen minutes to reach on foot, for instance. The Hollywood Bowl is only a twenty-five minute walk away, as well.

Local guide
About Franklin Village
In the 80s and 90s there was something of a trend to affix the word “village” to many neighbourhoods and streets of Los Angeles (Fairfax Village, Larchmont Village, Los Feliz Village, and Virgil Village among them). A stretch of Franklin Avenue also received this treatment and Franklin Village was born. However, unlike some of those neighbourhoods, Franklin Village actually feels somewhat cohesive, compact, walkable and thus vaguely village-like. Its attractions...
