This masterfully 1,800-square-foot loft in the center of Downtown Los Angeles is not your average room above the house. This is pure penthouse vibes, courtesy of Airbnb. The large pad is packed with both historic charm and contemporary amenities. The exposed brick wall acts as a burst of color in the living space, while a squeaky clean chef’s kitchen has all the accouterments you could need to whip up a gourmet dinner.

Did we mention you're in Downtown LA?! 

Yes, it’s possible to become one with nature in Los Angeles. Just look at this 500-square-foot rustic cabin: Perched high in the mountains, it overlooks the lush vegetation of the Fernwood area. Adventurers can choose from plenty of nearby hiking and biking trails, then retreat to the serenity of the master suite’s spa bathroom and cushy queen-sized bed. That being said, it hardly skimps on luxury or coolness. From the lovely snug to the stunning terrace, it's a dream stay. A nap in the hammock sounds pretty tempting, too, go on... Isn't that exactly what sunny holidays are meant for?

Postmodern architecture and traditional Japanese art come together in this stunning home hosted by Colin.

So you may be fighting over that, but whichever bedroom you end up in, the stay feel more than on par with most hotels. You won’t even have to settle for tap water: The kitchen includes a state-of-the-art reverse osmosis machine to purify the water, so keep hydrated with that fancy stuff between exploring Venice Beach and Pacific Avenue, which happen to be walking distance.
