Jan was a wonderful host and made us feel welcome on the day we arrived (...and before as we coordinated our arrival). The house is very cute and comfortable, with plenty of fresh grapefruit for breakfast from the tree in the backyard. The neighborhood is a short drive to old Pasadena, the Rose Bowl, and nearby freeways can bring you anyplace else. The fabulous Lincoln Bakery/Cafe is a few blocks away, and well worth a visit. The dishwasher sprouted a small leak while we were there, but the house was otherwise perfect for us in every way.
