My husband, eleven year old son, and dog had a terrific time at Kristin's beautiful cottage! It's centrally located, a five minute walk to Mission Street, which has a wide variety of upscale, excellent restaurants. There are also several casual dining options, all within walking distance. The dining is great, but so is the shopping! Lots of small stores and boutiques with unique merchandise. South Pasadena has a small town feel, yet is close to many of the other things you'll want to do when visiting Los Angeles. Kristin and her husband were also wonderful. Super friendly and welcoming. The house is well designed, clean, and comfortable, one queen bed, one twin. Kristin left a basket of snacks for us upon check in, which was a nice touch considering we were hungry when we arrived.
If you're looking for a smaller, two bedroom house in a great neighborhood with conscientious hosts, this is it.
