Graciela's hilltop rental is wonderful. It's (mostly) quiet and a little remote while still within 10 minutes of Downtown LA or Pasadena.

It's comfortable and private - perfect for a couple - and boasts a refrigerator, microwave, two-top hot plate, sink, all the usual necessities (silverware, cutting board, etc.), and a bathroom with a lovely shower.

The wifi is strong and Graciela herself is amazing. She was kind and just present enough to make us feel welcome, yet kept her distance when she figured we needed alone time.

The decor is one of the very best features. Graciela is an artist and it shows. Everything in the rental is carefully chosen to go together and yet look thrown together organically (which it probably was).

The only words of warning we have: the bed probably isn't large enough for two large and/or tall folks (it was plenty for the two of us though), and only a couple of the plugs are ground-ready. The place is a bit small but as I say, perfect for a couple.

There's also no clothes washer and dryer but that wasn't expected. :)

Thank you Graciela! We appreciate your hospitality, and loved our stay at your rental! We hope to see you again sometime in the future.
