I consider Rachelle's place a hidden gem! Right at the foot of the mountains, we were only a 5 minute drive away from downtown old Pasadena, which has tons of restaurants, cafes and shopping stores. I also felt like we were central relative to other towns I planned to visit (Silver Lake, Eagle Rock, Glendale), and not too far for downtown LA. The unit itself is cozy and was stocked with everything I needed, in a quiet neighborhood when I just needed to rest. Rachelle was incredibly accommodating, polite and responded rapidly to any requests that I had. 20/10 would stay here again!
