We stayed Michal's place as a last minute decision to visit Pasadena. Michal is gracious and welcoming. His place is all as he describes - exotic plants, trees, flowers & wild parrots that visit his garden! We were treated to a magnificent tour of his gardens and home. His home is gracious and welcoming and filled with his beautiful collections of antiquities and fine art. My husband and I are professionals- architect & museum director - we each found Michal's stories and knowledge of the area, fine art and the Greene & Green architecture accurate and intriguing. Michal greeted us at the door with his radiant smile and a bottle of wine! How amazing to stay at his home and become fast friends!
We would definitely stay with Michal again and highly recommend his accommodations to all travelers.
