We really enjoyed our stay here. Bruno was very warm and friendly, and he knew the area well (telling us about the changes that had taken place in the 20 years since I had lived in Pasadena). Upon entering the house, we were greeted with delicious wine and a variety of healthy and less heathy (but delicious!) snacks. The house is bright and airy -- a California bungalow, but with French touches (art, tablecloth, cookbooks). We quickly felt at home there and were sad when it was time to leave! This house is located behind another house, so there is no street noise at all. There is fresh fruit growing in the garden, and outdoor tables by the east and west doors, so you can sit out and enjoy the sun at any time of day. The idyllic setting made it possible to completely detach from everyday concerns; I don't think I've slept so well in a long time! We'd love to come back again!
