We enjoyed our stay in Altadena. We loved having our grand dog visit with us. The back yard is a gem in LA area. Plenty of fresh fruit trees and space for our dog. Contrary to some reviews, this house did not smell and the bed was great. The pillows had a bit to be desired but we layered them. The spacious master suite was great. Some of the light bulbs in the shower especially we still out but we managed. Easy access to the highway, good parks and great hikes. This was a great find for our family. I recommend it.
