Spent the night at Mary and Justice’s guest suite after a long drive with our 2 year old and it was a great place to crash. The neighborhood is incredible; the very top of the mountain in Alta Dena with spectacular views of Pasadena below.
The suite has a separate entrance that’s easy to find with its own little patio. A little too cold to spend time outside this trip but would love to come back and make use of the patio. Struggled a little with the lockbox but ten seconds in Justice popped out of the main house and let me in. Super nice guy and extremely welcoming.
The suite is small but very warm and welcoming. Amazing rustic feel that feels like a cabin in the woods. The bed was very comfortable and was perfect for our overnight crash between drives. Even our baby passed out and slept the whole night. The only issues I had were very limited counter space, and when the heater kicked on at night it made an audible clicking noise that woke me up a couple times, but I’m a very light sleeper.
The layout of the suite is very impressive for how small it is. I was super impressed they managed to have a full kitchen and large closet space. The shower is amazing and luxurious. We loved the assortment of books they had and our daughter loved the little Minnie Mouse doll. No need for the TV, we snuggled and fell asleep cozy and warm.
In the morning we discovered the incredible view around the pool and hot tub and wished our stay was longer to take advantage. Plenty of street parking complement this quiet and upscale neighborhood. Would love to stay again.
