There’s no doubt that Kelly has an extraordinary eye for design. Her passion for the craft is evident in every corner of Curio Ladera, from the folk art masks and the stylish patterns to the playful 1960s-style furniture and the relaxing outdoor patio. The building was formerly a mixed-use industrial space, which the charming ceiling still carries traces of. You'll benefit from a communal terrace, a shared honour bar that has drinks and snacks, plus an on-site coin-operated laundry room. Located in Highland Park, you will be staying in an exciting neighbourhood that’s experiencing an influx of young creatives that mix well with the authentic LA cultures.
