Overall, our stay was pleasant but to say JUST that would be an understatement. Lia was remarkably warm and welcoming from the moment we parked our car. When we entered the house, we were gifted with a tour of her beautiful home. From wall to wall her home is adorned with wonderful paintings and photographs done by her family and herself. By the way she spoke about everything from spoons on the walls to books on the shelves, Lia’s pride in her home is contagious.
We stayed in the Master Suite that has a fantastic shower and an unbelievably comfortable bed. In the room, Lia has made sure that any questions a guest might have would be answered. Need a ride somewhere? Take a bus pass. Want to taste a delicious pastry from a local bakery? Try a croissant. Not sure of where to eat because you’re not from the area? Take a look through the guidebook or better yet, ask Lia.
The benefits of staying here would take up several more paragraphs if I were to list them all but I’ll sum it up with this: Pasadena is an awesome city and with awesome people. Lia and Garry are two of those people who clearly have a love for the city that radiates through their knowledge of local hotspots and willingness to share their home. Stay with Lia and Garry – you will be beyond glad that you did.
