Description Trapeze Artist: Los Angeles

A loft in the Arts District is about as LA as it gets (give or take the odd hacienda in the Hills), and this apartment is an absolute beauty. It’s impeccably kept, and while the exposed pipework might not be to everyone’s taste, it’s hard to argue with them in the context of the space. The rooftop has been rated as one of the coolest in Downtown for the pool and the outstanding view of the skyline – perfect for relaxing lunches, outdoor dinners and happy hours. In addition, the home is a real rarity for LA, located in a walkable area with several shops, cafes and galleries nearby and bordering on Downtown LA, Little Tokyo, and the up-and-coming Boyle Heights. And even though your host Riccardo might not be able to meet you in person at check-in, he’s been hosting for years, so he’s got the whole thing down to a fine art.

Home truths:
*While you don't necessarily need access to your own vehicle here, it's worth noting that you only get one parking spot in the building, though it is on the same level as the flat
*There is also limited street parking
