Get set to embrace all things Los Angeles as you and your cohort make memories in this modern apartment building. Located just south of La Brea, you’ll be in the perfect location to explore the cultural sights and vibrant sounds of Los Angeles. With access to the whole building, you can make the most of downtime and group socialisation. Whether you’re seeking hiking trails in Topanga Hills or days waterfront in Venice Beach, you'll be in an idyllic central spot to do so. With incredible attention to those little details that make for an excellent stay, these L.A. apartments are minimal, dynamic and ever-so-comfy. The plump sofas invite you to sit back and play a few card games, whilst the kitchens are decked out for preparing feasts for you and your loved ones – there’s a barbecue on the roof if you feel like grilling. Spend mornings on the balcony with coffee and end the day with cold beers on the rooftop terrace. With some of the most iconic LA destinations within driving distance, you can spend the day ambling the boutique stores on Sunset Boulevard (a twenty-minute drive), exploring the artefacts at The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County... (a fifteen-minute drive), or eating barbecue in Koreatown (a ten-minute drive).
