This was a wonderful experience. The home is in an enchanting quiet neighborhood where mountains views and orange and lemon trees are visible everywhere. A true inspiration of life in motion is felt in the area that reminds me of a little French village with European bakeries, coffee houses, restaurants and yes the ice cream shop made the best ice cream I've ever had in America, equal to Gelato in Florence. The house is as clean as a whistle and the bed and sleeping was phenomenal. Refreshing to wake up to birds chirping while the crisp morning air breezed through the open windows. Not my usual experience in my business travels of locked hotel windows and people roaming up and down the halls. The delicious breakfast Catherine made was a great way to start the day. I was able to experience a great Italian dinner in Old Pasadena. I was surprise that the town had an international flare with the down-home traditional slow pace and architecture from the 1800's. Just hopped on the freeway and was in downtown L.A. for my morning meeting. What an experience. I even got in a hike to the waterfall yesterday in Eaton Canyon. The best of all worlds. I highly recommend this home for a rejuvenating retreat. I only wish I could be back there again for the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl January 1st. Hopefully next year. It was great to feel so welcomed with all the comforts of home in this beautifully decorated home.
