Mykie's place (with Gustavo) is a good spring board to explore Sierra Madre and Pasadena; it is a very stylist place, with natural light, all brand new appliances, with all this helpful, home technology for you to use, a good shower with tub as well...Near to the Huntington Library, excellent, cheap Asian food in nearby San Gabriel...and close to the trailheads of some pretty nature hikes in the nearby mountains.
