Welcome to the House of Light: a calm, art-filled modern home in the heart of Playa Vista.
Located on a quiet cul-de-sac, this 1265 sqft 2bd home features a spacious gourmet kitchen, an open layout and a cozy patio. Designed to celebrate its LA roots, this home is furnished with thoughtful furniture crafted by local artisans and vintage decor.

About the host
Hosted by Ruohan Yu
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.
