This is the most adorable little house! It literally sits right up against the mountain, surrounded by plants and birds singing in the trees. Everything is exactly as shown in the pictures. The bed is very comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked--they even provide spices, coffee pods, oatmeal packets, and cold water. The washer/dryer makes traveling so much easier. The place is immaculate and everything is brand new. It was perfect for my solo business trip to LA. I appreciate that the hosts provided detailed instructions (with pictures) to find the house and the parking spot. The steps up to the house are not a big deal as long as you can carry your luggage up. The house is in a quiet neighborhood in Monrovia, which is adjacent to Pasadena and relatively close to LA. Any store, restaurant, or service you could need is a few minutes away. It would be perfect for a writing retreat, quiet weekend away from the kids, or business trip. It's about the same price as the old, dirty, loud hotels down the street, and it's much more peaceful and unique!
