I stayed in Brooke’s wonderful property for over a month whilst working at the Huntington Library. It was perfect, with everything you could possibly need for a short or long stay (especially a very well-stocked kitchen, comfortable bed and great shower). Outside there was a selection of amazing citrus trees so I was able to have fresh orange juice every morning. Easy walk into Pasadena along very safe streets (with some enormous houses!) where there are plenty of restaurants, cafes and food shops/supermarkets). Brooke was a wonderful host - genuinely welcoming and always ready to help with suggestions of places to go or if I needed anything. I really can’t rate it highly enough.
