A lovely experience is yours, but you will need to navigate a lot of stairs, so this isn’t going to be everyone’s cup o’tea, but if a bit of climbing doesn’t bother you, this could be a lovely hideaway for one or two ppl to base an exploration of the the eastern end of LA. I was in town for a wedding in Pasadena and Lyft had me there in less that :30.
The steep spiral staircase to the sleeping loft is not for the nervous or inebriated, but once up there you find a gorgeous view of a very different LA to wake to. Roosters crow in the distance & plenty of wild birds flit by. There were some large mosquitoes that limited my time on the outside deck, so Deet might be a suggested add to your toiletries case.
Sandy and her family are right next door but i only saw them on arrival and departure (since everything was perfect and there was no need to bother them for anything). Everything in the home was clean and comfy and efficient! It’s a hard place to leave - one of those spots where you can easily see yourself staying forever!
