Historic 1920s luxe Spanish Style cottage

About the Space

Referred to as “La Ronda”, this historic 1920’s property is an exceptional example of the Spanish Colonial Revival architecture and is on the National Register of Historic Places. You can catch a glimpse of it in the 1974 movie, Chinatown. The cottage that is available for rent is 650 sq. ft. The interior is very high end and is done in true Hollywood Glamour style. The finishings (curtains, rugs, chairs, etc.) are rich in jeweled toned french-silk velvets custom made from Clarence House fabrics. The space is finished with vintage pieces; an Italian armoire from the 1700’s, cocktail tables, nesting tables, lamps, etc. Directly outside of the cottage is a cobblestone courtyard which serves as a direct passageway to other units that sit on the property.You would only have permission to shoot within the perimeters of the cottage Kitchen: The kitchen is equipped with an original O’Keefe and Merritt vintage stove.
