Villa Carlotta – Furnished Apartments

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Villa Carlotta as a guest, and I was incredibly impressed! Every corner of the villa exudes a blend of classic and modern touches, making it feel both luxurious and cozy. I would like to take the time to recognize Vanessa, the manager. She deserves a special mention for her hospitality. Although I was only a guest, she made sure I felt welcome and valued. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and friendly demeanor truly stood out and made the experience memorable. I can see why Villa Carlotta is so well-loved – they’re doing a fantastic job, especially with someone as dedicated as Vanessa leading the way!

The Villa Carlotta is an incredible space. It's perfect for travelers looking to stay for an extended period of time in LA. I use it often for my clients when I need a place I can trust to make them feel at home while in a new city. Vanessa is a dream to work with, making every reservation simple and straightforward. I will continue to recommend Villa Carlotta for as long as it stands.

The whole crew here works so hard and takes such care of the whole apartments at multiple properties. Walter is always there for us. Sharia is the most kind. Lizzete is awesome. Mina is amazing. Love this place. Move here. You will adore it.

Hello to all planning to stay at the Carlotta- enjoy your stay, but you may be interested to know that you are staying in the former apartments of a long term and beautiful community of artists, musicians and old Hollywood performers- a community that was ruthlessly evicted, price gouged and intimidated out when the current owners bought the place. Many had been there decades. One old actor with HIV who was spending his last days there was forced out, it broke his heart. The corridors used to be full of generations of paintings, photos and plants, and the residents gathered at the weekend for big fancy dress parties in the lobby, which was full of old Hollywood props- some furniture was from classic 1940s and 1950s movies. They would gather around the lobbys grand piano and sing, some would dance or enact scenes. One old Hollywood lifer would set up a bar and make us all fericously strong cocktails. The courtyard was crammed with statues and exotic plants, and residents would gather there by candlelight, huddle on the benches on long Summer nights and tell stories and anecdotes. The roof was accessible then, and had palm leaf gazebos, paddling pools, and a Tiki bar. On a hot afternoon you could float in a cool pool and sip a margarita. It was MAGICAL, and the new owners destroyed the place. As soon as they took over, they began forcing people out, they stripped the corridors of the art and threw it in the trash, they threw all the old prop furniture in skips, they chainsawed much of the courtyard vegetation, and they set about forcing the rest of the people out. Once they had done so, they GUTTED the place, and turned it into the soul less shadow of its former glory that it is now. Enjoy the Carlotta, maybe an echo of its magic may still reach you.

If I could live at the Villa Carlotta forever, I totally would. It’s a perfect blend of Hollywood history and modern amenities, in the coolest location in town. The residents and staff are friendly and kind, and Vanessa is the absolute BEST. She has every answer and will solve any issue, immediately and effortlessly. I definitely plan to return in the future, there is no better place to stay in LA!!

The Villa Carlotta is a beautiful place to live, and Vanessa at the front desk has been beyond helpful in my time here. The past few days She helped me track down an important piece of mail that I had mislabeled and made sure that I got. thank you!!

A Hidden Gem! Stayed here for 45 days, while in town for work from NYC. Such a cool vibe with a super chic design. I stayed in a studio and it was more like a suite, than studio. The staff are divine and super helpful. My only negative feedback would be that, it does not have a bar or restaurant but the team offered me complimentary rose in the evenings:-) Will directly be back.

SPECTACULAR building and even more spectacular and fabulous group of residents!! A beautiful and vibrant group of creative folks in a stunning building!! One of the coolest spots to live in the city... highly recommend!!!
