We really appreciated May's warm hospitality and responsiveness to our inquirers. Her place was simple, bright and comfortable with views of downtown on the horizon from the east side of the house. The backyard was great for enjoying breakfast and lunch and home grown tomatoes. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly. Both driving or public transportation were within reasonable distance from places of interest in LA and Pasadena. We also had fun trying out the local restaurants. It was a little tricky at first navigating up and down the narrow, winding streets and parking but once we got familiar with the location it was fine. This home is a great value and we would recommend it as good place to stay while visiting LA and surrounding areas.
