We wanted to be in Pasadena area but we like the country and not feeling crowded. This was the perfect place: a short drive up a picturesque canyon to a very private location with lots of room outdoors and places to walk. It seemed to be above much of the smog in the LA basin. The living space is large with a big separate bedroom with lots of storage and closet space. The bed was very comfortable. The main living space and kitchen are large with lots of counter space in the kitchen. The bathroom is also large with a very large shower and great hot water. Our host was very friendly and overall we loved the place and had a pleasant stay.
