About this property

Modern Home in LA w/ Rain Shower

Welcome to The Hillcrest Home! Rent it for 30+ days.

Conveniently located in Mid-City Los Angeles (not far from the freeways to shorten travel times), this 425 square foot tiny home is best suited for one guest when rented long term (due to its size!). It's centrally located in Los Angeles. Mid-City is central to the LA beaches (Santa Monica, Venice, Marina Del Ray, Playa Del Ray), Downtown LA (convention center, shops, restaurants, bars), Hollywood and more! It's very close to the 10 highway so guests have convenient access to freeways.

This home is equipped with smart tech, stylish decor and modern finishes including a contemporary rain shower, modern chevron tile floor, full-size kitchen appliances (including full stove, microwave, dishwasher, and fridge), washer and dryer, Smart Nest AC system, a smart TV, wifi and more. There is a small step up into the patio entrace area at the front of the home.

Sit outside on the patio and hear the Mid-City parrots fly by. We hear them in the morning and the evening, and they like to sit on the palm trees in the horizon. It's quite the LA experience!

The interiors of this home feature contemporary chevron tile floors, premium gold finishes on cabinetry, brand new kitchen appliances, a large 50" smart TV, a smart Nest thermostat for heat/AC, complimentary laundry appliances, a modern rain shower, and an outdoor reading nook on the attached patio.

Cook a meal in the new kitchen including a full size refrigerator/freezer, stove, oven, microwave and dishwasher. The kitchen includes plates, dishes, flatware, cups, wine glasses, etc. There is seating for three at the kitchen island. We provide a Keurig coffee maker.

The bathroom is equipped with towels and washcloths. The living room is equipped with a smart TV so that guests can sign-in to their own Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc. accounts to watch TV.

The bedroom includes a Queen mattress and sleeps two guests. The living room includes a memory foam pull-out mattress that also sleeps one guest (although not much space is left for walking when it's pulled out!).

Free street parking is available at this home.

There are three homes on the property, including one primary residence at the front of the property and two back houses. This home is one of the two back houses. We all like to keep to ourselves, but are a friendly bunch!

My husband and I are BIG fans of Los Angeles and have so many "favorites" to share with you! In our welcome guide we include our favorite coffee shops, restaurants, and local attractions.

Coffee Shops we recommend:

- Re/creation Cafe (it's 1.5 blocks away and just opened!)
- Jurassic Magic (also very close to the house)
- Alibi (try the Signature Cream Latte!)
- Highly Likely (we enjoy the Breakfast Sando)
- Go Get Em Tiger
- Goodboybob Coffee Roasters

Restaurants + Bars we recommend:

- Taqueria Los Anaya (super close to the home & our favorite local Mexican food)
- Johnny’s West Adams (try any of their smoked meats)
- Mian
- Mizlala West Adams (amazing tahini milkshakes)
- Alta West Adams
- Hangari Kalguksu (not local to this home, but our favorite chicken soup!)

Local attractions we recommend:

- Venice Canals
- Santa Monica Pier (and walking along the beach)
- Getty Center
- Griffith Observatory
- Manhattan Beach Pier (our favorite beach)
- Urban Lights at LACMA (iconic!)

For guest security, an outdoor surveillance camera is installed outside of the home to view the driveway entrance.

Central location, quiet & beautiful location

I flew out to LA to celebrate my birthday with some friends and was looking for a quiet central location to explore a bit but not get too rowdy and this was the perfect place for that! Quick Ubers to WEHO and to the beach and other places in the city made it easy to explore. There are definitely some shops and food walkable too. I was looking for peace & that’s exactly what I got! :) this property is in the back of their home and they were so friendly, and made sure we had everything we need, even dropping off some extra coffee pods one day. Would recommend to anyone looking for a tame stay with quick access to anything you need in the city :) thank you again!

Beautiful newly renovated cottage

Beautiful cottage on the back of owner's property with a newly renovated full kitchen, LR, separate BR and bath and lots of sunlight. Stayed here with my daughter so having a "real " one bedroom separate from the LR/kitchen allowed us to easily accommodate our different sleep patterns (night owl vs early bird). Renovation is extremely tasteful with nice finishes. Krista was so nice and literally responded immediately to any of our questions. The cottage has its own small enclosed patio - a great quiet and private place to read or work. Street parking is very easy and a locked gate to the property adds an additional layer of security. Would definitely stay here again.

Great home-base in LA

This little studio worked great as our home base for visits to Universal Studios, local universities, and Santa Monica. It was clean, safe, and had everything we needed. Ray was super responsive to all queries and a great host! We had a lovely stay and thoroughly enjoyed our trip to LA.

My name is Ray and I'm married to my wife and best friend! We used to live in New York City before moving to Los Angeles. We enjoy meeting new people and showing our new friends our favorite places here.

Our favorite places traveled so far:
- San Francisco: where I proposed to my wife
- Paris: I could spend forever wandering these streets
- Florence: one of the best meals I've ever had
- Shanghai: incredible energy and commerce
- Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo: cute small sister towns in Mexico

Why they chose this property

This home is on a beautiful expansive street conveniently located in central Los Angeles, not far from the freeways to shorten travel times. Because the interiors are freshly renovated, it features premium gold finishes on cabinetry, large 50" TV, rain shower, and an outdoor reading nook.

The owners of the property live in the front house and are close-by if you need anything during your stay. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need us.
