Ken and Ellen are wonderful welcoming hosts; their guest suite is peaceful, clean, and comfortable with access to a serene patio with a fountain and fruit trees. Altadena is a quiet neighborhood with lots of trees and a backdrop of the San Gabriel mountains. Really close to downtown Pasadena with lots of restaurants and shopping. Especially loved the Wednesday night Farmer's Market at nearby Loma Alta Park, the mom and pop health food store Oh Happy Days on Lake Avenue and The Coffee Gallery also on Lake Avenue. Would highly recommend staying here!
