Cotton Candy

Cotton Candy: California

Steps away from the world-famous Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), this centrally located apartment is perfect for uncovering the best that Los Angeles has to offer. The home is designed to suit a couple of friends thanks to a well-designed flow that's conducive to socialising. Of course, it's primarily used for rentals, so you won't find a lived-in home's trinkets and curios. But on the flip side, you have terrific communal amenities such as an outdoor space that's perfect for barbecues and get-togethers. So whether you're zoning out to Friday night jazz at LACMA, picking out fresh produce at the Miracle Mile Famers Markets (Wednesdays 11am-3pm), or grabbing a bite and one of LA's top-rated eateries on 3rd Street, this home has it all within walking distance – a real rarity in a city where the car is king.

* There isn't a ton of space for four guests to share, but it's utilised well
* Outdoor space is shared with the other tenants
* On-site dog wash and run for your furry friends
* Self check-in with keypad
