I cannot recommend Ellen's listing highly enough! From the moment I set foot in her driveway, she, her husband, and their lively dog, Huck, made me feel welcome. Their property really is an oasis, and the guesthouse is even lovelier in person – lofty ceilings with skylights, a comfy bed, and all the comforts of home. If you're looking for a cozy, extremely reasonable accommodation in Pasadena/Greater-Los Angeles, you'd be hard-pressed to find more wonderful hosts.
