If you're the sort of person that likes everything to be taken care of for them when they're staying in a new city, this serviced apartment in Westwood will be the stuff of dreams. The home itself is super bright thanks to an entire wall covered in windows and the LA sunshine dances wonderfully off the wooden floor and sleek kitchen surfaces. There's a gas fireplace for turning on in the chillier months — SoCal's version of chilly, anyway — and the large bedrooms finished in dark colours and check carpeting are instantly comfy. However, it's the amenities and services available to guests in the building that are perhaps most impressive. There's a fitness centre in the building for working up a sweat first thing in the morning and a rooftop terrace with a barbecue for the other end of the day. Guests can also take advantage of twenty-four-seven dry cleaning, daily housekeeping and in-suite massages, as well as a whole host of other services. Many of these, such as electric vehicle hire and dog walking, can save you time so you can head out into the city and explore. The Getty can be reached around ten minutes in the car, as can Rodeo Drive and Century City.
