Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
There’s no doubt that Kelly has an extraordinary eye for design. Her passion for the craft is evident in every corner of Curio Ladera, from the folk art masks and the stylish patterns to the playful 1960s-style furniture and the relaxing outdoor patio. The building was formerly a mixed-use industrial space, which the charming ceiling still carries traces of. You'll benefit from a communal terrace, a shared honour bar that has drinks and snacks, plus an on-site coin-operated laundry room. Located in Highland Park, you will be staying in an exciting neighbourhood that’s experiencing an influx of young creatives that mix well with the authentic LA cultures.

About Highland Park
With a proud immigrant history, Highland Park retains a multicultural art and gastronomic scene unlike anywhere else in LA. The neighbourhood holds onto a distinctive charm that shines through its diverse scattering of small businesses, some of which have been standing for over twenty years. From overflowing antique stores to quaint lunch spots, decades-old record emporiums to bohemian yoga studios, there’s plenty to keep you busy on Highland’s Park Figueroa...

The lanes were built in the 1920s and were beautifully restored a couple of years ago. Craft cocktails, wood-fired oven pizzas and friendly lanes make for a fun time.
