Michele was a wonderful host - communicative, responsive and accommodating! The home and property are breathtaking and certainly a sweet little refuge in Altadena. Opportunities for great neighborhood walks and hanging on the patio surrounded by the beautiful garden. Please note that this Airbnb is connected via a door to the host's home which means from time to time you can hear them and also smell the food they are cooking. The thermostat is also on the host's side of the house so you are not able to control the temperature of the Airbnb - you can only do so by messaging the host. The kitchen is a little kitchenette that works if you aren't interested in cooking so keep this in mind as there isn't a true sink (beyond the shallow bathroom sink) to do dishes. If these things are OK with you, I can't say enough good things about staying at this Airbnb with Michele and Mark as the hosts!
