A charming cottage and family, in a beautifully landscaped and maintained neighborhood just 5 minutes from the Pasadena Hilton and Sheraton. Neighborhood was great for walking. Private room was spacious with comfortable bedding, a spacious window seat and closet for your travel debris, and a separate bath. Lots of books, emphasis on travel and cooking, to enjoy. The room and bath were in a wing separated from the family for a restful and private stay. Use of well equipped kitchen and the friendly Thomas the cat. And what can you say about a home with its own chickens (never fear, no rooster!) and fresh eggs in the heart of Pasadena? Blooming lavender and camellia with a warm floral scent, spring bird twitters and soft warm air while my east coast home remained buried in snow drifts. I plan to return to this slice of Pasadena Paradise.
