Most people living in Los Angeles can recite by heart a long list of hotspots where you can enjoy bird’s-eye vistas that stretch for miles and miles. If you’re into hiking, you can climb atop of LA’s surrounding hills for a celestial view of the City Of Angels. And if you’re going out, hip restaurants invite you onto their rooftop terraces for an exclusive dinner experience. But what if you could enjoy such breathtaking panoramas from the comfort of your own apartment?
