Charlie Was Here

Charlie Was Here: California

Part of a complex once owned by Charlie Chaplin, this home is a combination of rustic, Spanish style and modern Boho chic. In a prime location, it's tucked away on the border between Hollywood and West Hollywood and we bet it could tell some stories about the golden age of cinema. Recently updated, plenty of period features have been left intact, while all the mod cons have also been added. Painted all white and with wooden floors, you'll find some of the arched doors and windows this era home is known for, along with stylish furnishings and quirky decorative pieces. The kitchen and bathroom are of an older style but have plenty of character, and we particularly love the feature wallpaper in the master bedroom. Our favourite thing about this home is the private garden – a tranquil oasis where you can sit outside, surrounded by tropical planting. Just a five-minute drive from Hollywood, whether you're here for work or leisure, it's a great LA location just off Santa Monica Boulevard.

Home truths:
*Here you'll be part of a quiet, gated community – but your garden is private
*Pets may be considered but they must be given prior approval from the host and there will be an extra fee
*Parking is on-street and can be challenging at times
