Lucy's studio is on beautiful property in an extremely quiet neighborhood (safe, no traffic, plenty of parking). It served as an excellent base for attending a conference in downtown Pasadena and visiting downtown LA via the Metro Gold Line (free parking at Sierra Madre Villa station). We too were visited by the adorable Max the cat and several peacocks. The studio was well stocked with linen, toiletries, cookware. Checking in and out was a snap, and Lucy was a friendly and approachable host. Note on WiFi: it worked great for my Android and Windows devices; however my friend had some difficulty connecting via his iPhone.
