Stephan's house was in a peaceful and beautiful neighborhood in Eagle Rock. We really enjoyed our long and leisurely walks each day with our dogs, and we will miss seeing both the hills and the LA city lights. The patio and back garden that many reviewers talked about are indeed well-landscaped and beautiful and really extended the living space of the unit. Since we needed a place near Pasadena, Glendale, and downtown LA, Stephan's unit worked out great for us!
