You’ll find this place situated a stone’s throw from Abbot Kinney Boulevard and within walking distance of Venice Beach. Elana, your world-travelling, cookbook-writing host, has expertly curated this home to inspire creativity and relaxation. There’s a cosy mezzanine level with an impressive vintage VHS and DVD collection and a private terrace for drinks alfresco. Naturally, the kitchen is well-appointed. The office is handy for business travellers, though keep in mind the space doubles as a bedroom at full capacity.
