Ellen and Ken were such kind and thoughtful hosts. Always helpful and never intrusive. Nellie is a fabulous place to stay! Cozy, cute, retro... She was just what I wanted! Then there's the patio! Beautiful during the day and the cactus garden is lovely. Really makes you feel like you're not in Altadena! But at night, when the little lights all come on it's just so peaceful and a perfect place to relax with friends. Now to the sleeping... I never slept so good! The bed is a cloud that you don't want to leave and the fountain just outside is a nice background sound while sleeping with open windows. This little section of Altadena is a bit of paradise!
