A calming sanctuary in the Hollywood Hills, this modern compound mixes farmhouse chic home with cool LA touches. Made up of a bungalow and a pool house (with its own separate entrance, kitchen, living space, bedroom, bathroom and yard) this place would appeal to an extended family or a group of friends travelling together – the pool house provides just enough privacy and you can all get together in the communal outdoor space. In both buildings, there’s a beautiful flow between the inside and outside, making it easy to take full advantage of the pool, barbecue, firepit and large outdoor dining table. Flora, your host, has designed everything herself, so expect a highly personal home with lots and lots of character. Set on a quiet, leafy street, it's close to Hollywood Boulevard, and there are plenty of restaurants just down the road, while keen hikers will be pleased to know that from here you can head up to the trails in the hills.

Home truths:
*As with all homes in Los Angeles, we recommend having a car to get around – there's one spot on the driveway and plenty of street parking outside
*The pool and spa are saltwater and heated
