Such a phenomenal find. My three roommates and I needed a place to stay for the summer while we were interning at Walt Disney Imagineering, and Stella went above and beyond to make us feel right at home. She connected us with amazing local tips that led to some of my favorite memories, had amazing communication throughout our stay, and could not have been more accommodating.
Area is very close to the Rose Bowl—I would go running every day after work there, and it's only 8 minutes down the hill. Also very close to Pasadena, Glendale, and Burbank. For longer stays like ours, there's multiple Targets and grocery stores. If you're looking to explore the greater LA area without all the noise and traffic you would get downtown, this is the perfect place for you. Lush, cozy, and quiet.
The place has a beautiful backyard, and has all the necessities we needed for a longer stay: WiFi, TV with cable/ DVD player, washer/dryer in the unit, and a kitchen with a large fridge, stove, coffee maker, toaster oven, and microwave. There's even a piano in one of the rooms! The bathroom is absolutely gorgeous with an AMAZING shower/ sauna. The pictures really don't do it justice.
All this to say, I give Stella's lovely home my highest recommendation, and hope you'll consider it for your next trip to the area!
