We LOVED Lia's place, especially the beautiful gardens that wrap around the house. There are multiple seating areas so you can follow the sun/shade. We didn't spend much time indoors because it was so inviting outside, but we really appreciated having our own private bathroom and mini kitchen area for such a reasonable price, and the house is beautifully decorated and cozy inside too. The neighborhood has some peaceful tree-lined streets full of fabulous 1920s-30s architecture and interesting landscaping if you have time for a walk. There are also some amazing Armenian and Middle Eastern bakeries a few minutes walk away. Lia went above and beyond with amenities - cookies, croissants, eggs, there were even a couple bath robes, plus sleep masks and earplugs for light sleepers. We were glad we had time to chat with Lia while we were there. She was an excellent host, and we will stay there again when we go back to the Pasadena or surrounding area.
