Our sons were participating in the Rose Parade in Pasadena. We chose this house based on the reviews, the fact that is has three bedrooms and the location. We were so happy with it for all of these reasons--and more.
The house is VERY clean and comfortable, especially the beds. It was roomy so we could have our own space without being too large. The outside was equally lovely. We were able to have a meal at the outdoor table and spend some afternoons by the pool. The pool was far too cold for swimming but beautiful anyway. The kitchen had everything we needed with top-notch appliances--we were easily able to make a special New Year's Day meal. The bathroom showers were perfect and the washer and dryer worked excellently.
We really enjoyed the location. The neighborhood was EXTREMELY quiet. We loved walking to the neighborhood market and driving to Porto's in just a few minutes. Access to the highway was close, and many places we wanted to visit--Pasadena, Hollywood, Santa Monica, Malibu, etc. were easy to access.
After 11 wonderful nights, it is hard to come up with any negatives about this house. We found the heating and tv a little tricky to manage but truly, this house was pretty much perfect for us.
