We had a great time in LA and loved staying with In Ja and James. The neighborhood is great: my husband did his early morning run down to the Hollywood walk of fame from the house and we were super close to Universal and the Griffith Observatory (10-15 mins drive). And we also drove to Venice, Santa Monica, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Silver Lake and Echo Park and the longest drive (back from Venice) was 45mins. The apartment was comfortable with beautiful views of the Hollywood hills including the famous sign.
Our favorite part of the stay was having breakfast with our hosts. The food was incredible and the conversation even better. They were also super sweet and patient with out 4-year old who was sad to leave them and wanted to go eat with them at every night, too.
Our first day in LA was a cold and wet one and having spent a few hours at Universal all we wanted to do was take off our wet shoes and socks, order food in and warm ourselves in bed. But In Ja and James came over with a tray of food (mango, cucumber salad, rice and BBQ chicken) that by the time our the delivery man came with the food we weren't hungry.
We are super thankful to our hosts for making this such an excellent visit to LA and Airbnb experience.
