Kristin and Richard are great hosts and their cottage is charming. It is an older structure so be forewarned it is not sleek and modern but certainly makes up for it in character. We have stayed there twice, once in the summer and once in the winter. Although the cottage doesn't have central heat and air, there are fans and space heaters available if needed depending on the season. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds comfortable. The bathroom is a little tight (with the smallest cutest sink I've ever seen) but the shower is a good size and there are lots of nice lotions and potions to use. South Pasadena is a great area to be in and my husband and I highly recommend staying here.
