Click to book Loft Livin' now: from £200 per night Presenting the perfect blend of industrial chic and typical California bohemia, the first things you'll notice are the light inviting floor-to-ceiling windows and spectacular high ceilings that go on for days. Huge steel doors guard the entrance to this plant-filled loft space in the heart of downtown L.A. While an eclectic mix of mid-century, antique, and contemporary furnishings transform this industrial space into a real home. A modern desk makes this home ideal for those in town on business, and there's plenty of wardrobe space for anyone looking to spend their time ticking off some of the world's best shopping hot spots. Wake up with a coffee at the kitchen diner every morning, and curl up under a blanket on the sofa, at the end of a long day. Located just a short walk from The Broad, Grand Park, and Chinatown – you won't have to go far to soak up some of L.A's most iconic city sights. Sleeps up to 2 | 0 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom

Click to book Let’s Play Ball now: from £240 per night Clean lines and luxury vibes are the order of the day at this downtown LA apartment. Just minutes from the STAPLES Center and Los Angeles Convention Center, this sleek, sophisticated highrise home would make the perfect base whether you’re travelling for business or pleasure. We love the little touches that mark this home out – black and white photography, soft to the touch textiles, and cool, contemporary objet d’art are all dotted around the space, and the living room with its grey velvet sofa offers the ultimate spot for a cosy night in. But it’s the balcony that really caught our eye here. Offering views out over that twinkling downtown skyline come nightfall, we think you’ll find it hard to keep away – and who could blame you? If this isn’t the ideal location for an evening cocktail, then where is? Of course, you could always take drinks up on the roof where the communal deck boasts a pool with daybeds and loungers, gas barbecues for when you’ve just got to grill, and sweeping views. Choices, choices, choices. Sleeps up to 4 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom

Click to book Arts on the Avenue now: from £169 per night Living the high life in Downtown LA is easy in the heights of this incredible apartment block. Just a five-minute drive from the bright lights of Chinatown, this home is a spot of luxury in the city. In contrast to the colourful red buildings you might pass en route, enter into your modern white, open-plan apartment. With a huge lounge window and ghost dining chairs, this glassy, minimalist vibe is perfect for relaxation after a busy day in this bustling metropolis. Guests here are truly pampered – wellness facilities include a swimming pool, spa, fitness centre, and yoga studio. Or for leisure, you’ve got a roof terrace with barbecues, a library, and a billiards table. If you manage to make it out of this fabulous residence, you won’t need to go far for more entertainment – this avenue will keep you busy the entire time. For cultured days out, your neighbours include some of the city’s most celebrated galleries. A two-minute walk away, find contemporary art at the MOCA, or at The Broad museum less than a minute away on foot. And in the evening, catch the Los Angeles Philharmonic at home at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, a swift three-minute walk from home. Sleeps up to 3 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom

Click to book Green Rocking Chair now: from £220 per night Nestled behind a 1913 craftsman house, you'll find this sweet studio home. It's a serene spot with crisp, white walls and wooden beams along with special touches like the intricate glass window. The outside space is shaded by a ficus tree, and is the perfect spot 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 fit between the shrubs. And, when it comes to exploring LA, this home is in an excellent location. It's just one mile south of Hollywood, in the Larchmont neighbourhood, which is full of historic homes and independent businesses. A fifteen-minute walk will bring you to the main boulevard, where you'll find a farmer's market and a range of shops and eateries. You can also drive to downtown LA in around ten minutes, and arrive at the airport in only half an hour. Sleeps up to 2 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom

Click to book Mi Casa now: from £248 per night Mi Casa is a fuss-free home in a hip East side location, accommodating a large group. Within walking distance of the iconic Sunset Boulevard, you're surrounded by hip eateries and bars. Thanks to laid back house rules and a super accommodating host, you're guaranteed to have a fun and easy stay. And though the interiors aren't glitzy or glamorous, there's a fantastic outdoor patio that you'd be silly not to use all day and into the pleasant evenings. Sleeps up to 8 | 4 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom
