Love art or history? Well, this modern home is just over a twenty-minute walk to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, or La Brea Tar Pits with its famous asphalt pools and Ice Age-era fossils. If you fancy dining out, head to the eateries on Pico Boulevard, just a five-minute saunter. For even more choices of restaurants, check out Downtown LA, around a fifteen-minute drive in the car. Back at your apartment, the stylish open-plan living space is ideal for chilling out. The star of the show, though, is the wonderful roof terrace surrounded by palm trees. So, lie down on the daybed and do some California dreaming or have dinner at your bistro table as the sun goes down. It’s the perfect spot for a sundowner or two – we could spend all day here.

Home truths:
* This home is above the main house – while you'll have access to the roof terrace, the gardens below are for the main house guests
* There's a number of steps up to this suite, so perhaps not ideal for elderly guests or small children
*It's possible to accommodate two more guests on the sofa bed in the living room
*The host has provided beach essentials for your trips to the area's golden sands
*The parking is free on-street parking
