This sweet spot is our go-to when in the area visiting family. The living space is clean, well defined and charmingly appointed. The big two-sided bookshelf is a reader’s dream: filled with both literary and popular novels, histories, bios, poetry and sacred texts. The place is well-located for hitting the city sites or exploring the San Gabriel mountains just up the road. A large nicely landscaped courtyard is great for dining or relaxing. Michele and her husband are affable and accommodating. What’s not to like—a lot?
