We enjoyed 6 days in Casa de Regalos in June.
Gale was an excellent host and made us welcome while we enjoyed complete privacy. The 4 rooms were spacious, light, and beautifully designed with wonderful artwork from different parts of the world with a variety of materials.

The house has good light, flow thru air so we only used the AC in the bedroom in the evening, and felt like home. We were surprised when we ended up bringing food in and eating there rather than dealing with restaurants since we enjoyed the atmosphere.

We also used Gale's collection of menus, cultural sites to visit, and maps. Our friends from LA came to pick us up and enjoyed the apartment also.

You do have to drive to downtown Pasadena but its only 5 " and you don't have to go thru the downtown area. Everything we needed was closeby. I would recommend this.
