Ellen's oasis in Altadena is simply fantastic. Cozy and inviting, it was the perfect place for my In-Law's to stay. They found it very convenient to all the places they wanted to go, even Hollywood. Access to the freeways and local restaurants and shopping was perfect. And Ken (one of the hosts) also fixed their computer. Now that's service! They were very taken care of, from how to work the TV to working the microwave. Also, they loved walking around the neighborhood, great scenery and slight hills for good cardio exercise. The kitchen was small but sufficient for snacks and breakfast foods. Highly suggest this for out of towners who what something homey and comfortable.
