Perched on a vertiginous hillside in the Los Angeles suburbs, this modern home is impeccably designed to maximise the potential of its envious vantage point. The interiors are fresh and modern, with comfortable furnishings to ensure you can fully relax after a busy day exploring. But it’s the outdoor spaces that really caught our eye. Note the unobstructed views of L.A. from the balconies and communal patios – maybe you’ll soak it all up from the hot tub, perhaps it’ll be from the hammock or why not head up to your private rooftop terrace, where you’ll find a seating area, fire pit and barbecue. For those who like to keep active on holiday, you have access to the fitness studio complete with Peloton, plus two hiking stairways in your neighbourhood. When it’s time to explore, hop in the car and take the fifteen-minute drive into the city. Stop off en-route at the Dodger Stadium or make a beeline for Chinatown and tuck into dumplings at old-school dim sum houses. Home truths: *There is a driveway with space for two cars on the premises and there is on-street parking at the bottom of the hill *The home is located at the top of a steep hill and your host recommends hiring an SUV for ease of travelling up and down the incline *This is a self-check-in home with a keypad *Music can be played in the outside spaces but please keep it at a reasonable level, especially on the roof terrace *If you move furniture, please return it to its original place before check out *There’s an EV charger here, so guests can charge electric vehicles on the property
