Just a short walk from Venice's charming canals, this home is a fabulous open-plan pad, brimming with character and ideal for a romantic retreat or a solo sojourn. It's been decorated with flair – we especially love the art cluster wall and book collection. At the same time, the private patio is a lovely spot to peruse through those art books. Located in the garden of the owner's main house, you have your own private entrance to come and go as you please. It's just as well, as this home is ideally placed to enjoy the best Venice has to offer. In no more than a fifteen-minute walk, you can be strolling past the quirky characters that inhabit Venice's iconic boardwalk, as well as the mulling over which of the plentiful nearby restaurants and bars you're going to head to later along Abbot Kinney Boulevard. Favourites include Venice mainstay, The Tasting Kitchen for cracking cocktails, and chef Evan Funke's Felix, which serves up some of th...More Details
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.

Want to call a piece of Hollywood history home for a while? This wonderful Beverly Hills property has you covered. The guest house on the original Warner Brothers estate, many a celebrity has stayed here over the years, including — rumour has it, at least — Marilyn Monroe. The interior might be a little more pared-back than other A-list addresses, but there's a humble rusticness to the design that's certain to be appreciated. The walls and furnishings are predominantly wooden, and this surface reflects the copious amounts of natural light that streams in through the floor-to-ceiling windows quite pleasingly. We should point out that the shared garden here is something to behold, too. Step past the private patio and you'll find a pretty pond and rockery garden. Beyond this relaxing feature is a tennis court complete with floodlights. Although you could very easily keep yourselves occupied without leaving the home, both Sunset Strip and R...More Details
