I've stayed at one of Barry and Van's other places before, and gave that one a great review. It was wonderful to be back, and this house is a pure delight. It's extremely well outfitted with all kinds of cool details in the design. A fabulous place to base a couple weeks of work in Pasadena from, but I am sure it also would be great for a vacation. Not a single problem came up and Barry and Van are always instantly available to help. They are excellent hosts who value privacy but also are very friendly, and also very professional and careful with their houses, which they maintain to the highest standards.
