We stayed at Gretje's place just south of Pasadena for three nights. First of all, it's an unbelievably beautiful spot, with lemon trees on their property and a very nice guest house to stay in. The scenery is reminiscent of a small Italian village. Our hosts were perfect, and there was no issues that I can think of. I would choose to stay here again the next time I came to LA in a heartbeat. Also, excellent Mexican food in the neighborhood! Great experience all around!
