Above the Stars

Above the Stars: California

Sitting directly above the Hollywood Walk of Fame is this low key, yet elegant apartment. There's a subtle sense of grandeur here thanks in part to the historic building, antique couch and the old collection of books. Be prepared for LA madness on your doorstep, but should you need to escape it all...just head back on up to your room or the tranquil rooftop terrace.

Home truths:
* This building sits directly on Hollywood Boulevard, which can get a bit hectic at times

* The plumbing here is old and delicate

* Guests three and four will have to sleep on two Murphy beds in the communal area
