Ellen and Ed greeted us upon arrival and were so warm and friendly. I felt as though we had been good friends for years. The guest house is amazing. It's quite large, super comfortable, clean, and with all the amenities I could have hoped for. It's one of the best I've ever stayed in. The master queen bed was so comfortable and the kitchen was convenient too. There is also a nice living room area with comfortable seating, perfect for watching shows on the large flat screen TV.
The neighborhood is superb and nicely located in Pasadena. We were close to all the shops of Old Town plus the 210 Highway, but on a wide and quiet tree-lined street with very little traffic. There is a lovely back yard, adjacent to the guest house, with a pool and seating area with gas fire pit. It's a perfect place to relax and take in some California sunshine.
I can't wait to come back. I highly recommend this location and Ellen and Ed couldn't have been better hosts. Check out the Gamble House, iPic Theater, and Smitty's Grill on Lake Ave, when you visit.
