Karla is a most gracious and friendly host. She met us upon our arrival and even helped bring a bag in. The intimate studio cottage we stayed in was behind the charming main house along with two other small cottages. The green and secluded backyard included orange and lemon tree, which we were given permission to pick from. Inside the three room cottage with wood flooring was a main room where there was a huge picture window facing the lemon tree, the bed, two side-tables, a larger table that had a bowl with candy on in and two chairs. The kitchen included a full sized refrigerator/freezer stocked with filtered water, gas stove, microwave, small sink and equipped with all the necessary utensils and some small staple items. The small bathroom with a stall shower served its function well. The adjustable bed was relaxing and comfortable. Karla was available to wish us goodbye upon our check-out. This was all located in a quiet, relaxing and serene neighborhood with stores and restaurant options nearby. The close location to downtown Pasadena made it very convenient for my needs. With Karla as a congenial and welcoming host, I would stay in this comfortable, quite gem again and highly recommend this place to others.
