I recommend Janet's cottage in the strongest possible terms. It is a beautiful, comfortable studio with a great bathroom.
The neighborhood is an absolutely gorgeous part of Pasadena, with magnificent houses that's great for walking in. You are a ten minute walk to lovely cafes and breakfast places, and a stone's throw from the Huntington Library (an absolute must see).
Janet is the definition of hospitality, and will do everything to make your stay comfortable and carefree .
