Yep - the reviews and 5 star ratings are real! I had such a wonderful time and my stay here was everything I needed and more! I loved the designated kitchen space as having the ability to cook and prep food was such a relief - and joy! Altadena fulfilled my dreamy life ideals, I now know it is an area of Cali / LA I’d like to live in more long term. I really enjoyed chatting with Erik and Jessica when we bumped into each other, but for the most part you get so much of your own privacy - I was living a very solitary, tranquil life here which is what I’d sought and needed! This place gave me that plus the beautiful surroundings. Having just flown in and since I had no car, I loved the shampoo and conditioner awaiting me in the bathroom. Felt so welcomed. Thanks also to Erik and Jessica for accepting my last minute request! Book now because this place is dreamy!
