Great place to stay! Very nice space in a nice, quiet neighborhood. Walking distance to a grocery store, donut shop, etc., which were very close by. Also, walking distance just a little farther to many fast food places, Walgreens, etc. The space itself was very nice! Comfortable beds, nice kitchen & bathroom. Highly recommended!

Wonderful area to stay in. We loved the history of Pasadena. Close to so many attractions such as Griffith Observatory, Atwater Village, Huntington Library and Gardens, Old Pasadena. The neighborhood is walkable to Bungalow Heaven and other historic areas. The parking is tight but doable. The little house had everything we needed. Gloria was super responsive to any questions I had. I’d recommend this place to anyone.

Lovely place with a great patio

It was everything for a fun weekend going to the Rose 🌹 Bowl. Cute cottage with all the amenities. Since we were 5 adults, we were grateful to the additional bed in the mini cottage. The host was extremely prompt in responses ( even when out of the country!)

Nice Cottage in a Nice Neighborhood

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The property met our needs (three adults and an almost teenager). Everything was clean and comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and nice to walk in, especially towards the Bungalow Heaven neighborhood. There are lots of food options nearby that are walkable. It was in a great location (in our opinion) to visit Hollywood, Long Beach, Simi Valley and Huntington Beach. Excellent communication with the host. Would definitely stay here again.

Home away from home

We stayed from 8/31 to 9/4 to help our daughter move into grad school. Great proximity to Caltech well as many restaurants and shopping. Check in was simple with the key box, loved the privacy/security gate for the guest house as we had two cars full of luggage and dorm items. Great outdoor space, laundry, well appointed modern kitchen, toiletries and very comfy beds. Nice touch with the coffee syrups and beans set up in the kitchen. Gloria was so hospitable and even helped us take delivery of a pretty heavy shipment from Amazon prior to our arrival. All instructions were detailed and helpful and the gathering space/dining was comfortable for 3 adults. Hope to stay here again in the future!

Great location to visit Presidential libraries and museums.

The property was just right for the 2 of us. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. We chose this location because we planned to visit both Nixon's and Reagan's Presidential museums and possibly downtown L.A. We had plenty of towels, the beds were comfy and the host graciously provided coffee and necessaries. Gloria checked in by text frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. The patio area is lovely.

Family visit

We were in Pasadena to visit family. The guest house is exactly as pictured and immaculate. The check in process was very easy. It is just a short drive or Uber ride to many amazing restaurants and attractions. The binder contained info on restaurants, attractions and everything you needed to know about the cottage. Gloria was a great host, very considerate. We enjoyed the patio area for morning coffee or relaxing in the evening.
