Great central LA location

Everything that is advertised about the property is correct. Very clean and updated designer home in a quiet area only 15 min from LAX. A short walk to some good restaurants as well as a short drive to Marina Del Ray and surrounding areas that are not far from the beach.

Beautiful House in Ideal Location

This house was exactly as shown on the listing and even more beautiful upon arrival. We were greeted with a personalized note and a few treats to enjoy during our stay. The exterior and front yard is very inviting and when you walk in, the house is bright, clean, and wonderfully decorated. Love all of the white and updated design along with the beautiful artwork. The huge kitchen counter and big dining table were nice to use. The two bedrooms are cozy but also filled with light. It was so easy to get in and out of the house (no fuss) and the house is located on a quiet street and is an ideal location near many great shopping centers. We really enjoyed staying in this house and will definitely book here again!

Wonderful House of Light

We loved our stay at the House of Light. The home was perfectly located for our visits with our daughter and family living in Westchester. The home was immaculate and well stocked. The decor is very zen and the home is beautifully decorated. We appreciated the strong wifi and availability of streaming services. Can’t wait to return!

Relaxed modern home

We loved the open concept of this two bedroom home. We had space to organize all our sons stuff to be moved into college and the laundry room in the house was an extra plus. There was a cute little private patio for morning coffee and evening relaxing. The owner responded immediately via text for any of our questions, The furnishing were clean organic modern & lovely, & we had the driveway to park on. The location was close to grocery and airport.

Best VRBO experience!

We could not have asked for a better place to stay! This home is so clean and decorated like West Elm. Close to so much. Walking distance to Starbucks & Whole Foods. So close to Marina Del Rey, Venice Beach, LMU, Malibu, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood and more! Also close to downtown Culver City which has a new Erewhon...needless to say we were there everyday! We will be coming back to this house time and time again.

We Will Be Back!

We had a great experience from start to finish. This home is immaculately clean, very comfortable and perfectly located! There is a fabulous laundry room which was incredibly convenient since we had been traveling for a week when we arrived. The kitchen is well equipped & beautifully appointed and there is a BBQ and a cute, cozy outdoor space which gave us the opportunity to have a much desired home cooked meal! There is WiFi which gave us the chance to catch up on work. It truly felt like home away from home. The host was extremely responsive. We will definitely stay here again the next time we head to California, which will be soon!

Peaceful, tranquil, sparkling clean, and easy drive to my favorite places in LA!

Ruohan's place is thoughtfully designed and elegently decorated for everyday living and comfort. This place is sparkling clean, we couldn't find even one dust! The location is quite and is an easy drive to some of my favorite places in LA (Abbot Kinney Blvd/Rose Ave), Venice, Santa Monica, Mathhantan Beach etc.) It is also very close to a freeway entrance if you want to venture out to other parts of LA. Highly recommended!

About the host

Hosted by Ruohan Yu

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Ruohan! Hi I'm Ruohan! I first got into hosting when I was back in New York and oh my, I was instantly hooked! I loved providing great experiences to my guests and going above and beyond for my guests to make sure they have a great stay (talk about all the 2am drunk texts I answered :')). The best part about the whole experience was how I got to interact with people from all walks of life and read their sweet, warm reviews. Back then, I had been suffering from an insanely demanding corporate job so all the kindness from strangers (who I call my guest friends) was just what I needed to feel human again.

Fast forward 2 years, I'm now living in Los Angeles, loving the people and culture. I quit that terrible job to pursue my passion as an artist and to make my homes an artful therapy for all guests.

So... long story short, I host to love, to feel loved and to support my crazy art ideas. Find me on IG @ryuhouseofart if you are curious what I've been up to. :)

Why they chose this property

This home is the first home of my husband and me when we first moved to Los Angeles last year. In this home, we survived the pandemic, got married (literally through a virtual ceremony with the city hall). It is a fully remodeled beautiful house and we have so many great memories attached to it, and we are convinced that you will, too.

What makes this property unique

The garage is my art studio and you may see me sometimes there, working on my art projects. Please feel free to say hi or watch me paint if you'd like! I also offer discounted painting sessions to guests, subject to availability.
