Cynthia’s house was absolutely idyllic. It was cozy and stocked with all we needed and the location was bananas. Ten minutes from downtown Pasadena and a similar distance from all the restaurants and shops in Glendale. Not to mention the cafes and Trader Joe that’s within walking distance. Plus, we didn’t need to stray too far from all of Cynthia’s recommendations since, as an LA native, she knows where all the best hidden gems are. Her cats and Roxy the dog were super chill and easy to hang out with and it doesn’t get any better than meals in her garden punctuated by morning dips in the hot tub and pool. It was everything we wanted from an LA vacation.
