Echoing the hundreds of reviews, Faisal and Misbah’s guesthouse was truly exceptional! Frankly, it’s one of the best vacation rentals I’ve ever stayed at. I wanted to gift myself a mini birthday midweek/weekend R&R and knew I wanted to stay in the Pasadena area so I had my pick between the Langham or the guesthouse – and I’m so glad I chose the guesthouse. It ticked all the boxes for me: great hospitality (Faisal offered great tips on nearby hiking trails and was always responsive), privacy, clean, quiet location, and comfortable homey touches. The guesthouse itself is tastefully decorated throughout and fully stocked for what you need for a relaxing getaway. For what you get, it’s definitely worth the value and is as good as any 5-star hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Who knew this hidden slice of paradise could ever exist in the hustle and bustle of LA (and I live on the Westside too). I’m looking forward to my next stay!
