I enjoyed my stay at the farmhouse! It really did feel like a retreat from the city, while also in a cute neighborhood very close to the shops and restaurants of Pasadena. Carmen and her family were lovely, welcoming hosts — they offered delicious oranges from their tree, invited me to join for a beer on a nice summer evening in their backyard, and really made me feel at home as a guest while still giving me privacy. It’s a great neighborhood to walk around and see the historic homes (and you can even walk to Roma Market for one of their famous Italian sandwiches). The guesthouse itself is clean, spacious, and peaceful, and the kitchen has all the basics you’d need to get cooking.
I would definitely stay here again — thank you for being great hosts and sharing your space!
