Mandy was an excellent host when my boyfriend and I arrived. We were pleasantly welcomed with cookies fresh out of the oven. She was communicative, friendly, and attentive to our questions and needs. The place was amazing and exceeded our expectations! The place has a pretty good size kitchen that was stocked with the essential pots, pans, appliances, and utensils you need. We ended up buying groceries and cooking our own meals. The bedroom was very spacious and open with nice sitting areas. The bathroom looks brand new and there was plenty of counter space for toiletries. I appreciated was how much storage space there was throughout the guest house and there was an AC/heating system. There was also parking available which was a great perk!

The home is located in a quiet, homey, and quaint neighborhood near Highland Park, Pasadena, and Eagle Rock. It's a close drive to DTLA as well. Since we stayed during Christmas, many homes were decorated with lights and decorations. The entrance to the guest house also has a beautiful hilltop view of the surrounding neighborhoods. My boyfriend and I loved our stay and will look into staying here if we're in the area again!
