The loft is spacious and cozy at once, a great gathering place for guests around the table in the huge kitchen. The back yard is truly a retreat, where you can rest in privacy surrounded by fruit trees and rustic fountains. The huge San Pascual park across the street is a lively hub, very community-oriented with family picnics, soccer fields, pickup basketball, baseball games, horses, joggers and dog-walkers. Yet never a nuisance for the loft in any way re noise, parking, etc. This is a great community and a great place to stay and enjoy the many cultural hotspots of Pasadena.
