If you want to be imbedded in the heart of Hollywood and you love the person-to-person touch when traveling, you will love View from the Top.

The unit has--among other attributes--two very comfy pillow-top queen beds (each in its own large bedroom) and a spacious terrace from which you can see a panoramic view of the Hollywood Hills and the iconic Hollywood sign itself.

On the day of our arrival, we were running late due to snow and ice in our place of origin (Yosemite). But James and In Ja could not have been more gracious--even allowing us to schlepp our luggage through their warm, personal living quarters rather than use the private-but-steep outside stairs in the rear of their apartment complex that we used from that point on as our entrance/exit to the unit.

The next morning, In Ja's knock on the inside door announced a breakfast feast--omelette, bacon, juice, fresh berries with cream, coffee--and this continued for the next two mornings, with each breakfast huge, nutritious and deliciously unique. For some reason, I hadn't noticed other people remarking on this aspect of the stay at View from the Top...but it is amazing! In Ja is a gourmet cook and the smells wafting up the stairs from her kitchen made our mouths water.

James and In Ja are truly gems and worth getting to know not only as Airbnb hosts but as people. I enjoyed meeting them as much as I enjoyed reconnecting with friends from my former life as a denizen of the Hollywood Hills.

These Airbnb hosts have taken great care to supply everything a guest needs--from a private parking space to extra towels. The space is unique and James & In Ja are world-class hosts.
