Dorothy's studio is great in so many ways! I stayed there for six weeks - moved to Pasadena for a new job and needed a furnished place to call home until I found a long term rental. The studio is on a beautiful street - the view takes your breath away every morning when you walk to your car. It is quiet and peaceful, but close to everything - less than 15 minutes to Old Town Pasadena. The studio is well equipped (microwave, large fridge, coffee machine, etc), very clean, the linens and towels were soft, and Dorothy went out of her way to make my arrival pleasant with a fruit basket, snacks and water in the fridge, toiletries, etc. There is a bigger house in the front which shares the yard with the studio, but it's still very private. Eaton Canyon is super close. There are citrus trees and roses in the garden, it makes for a very pretty setting. I really enjoyed my stay.
