We really enjoyed our stay in the guest cottage. Gilma and Herbie were great hosts...kind and responsive to our questions. They worked with us when we lost track of our house key and were very pleasant to interact with via messaging. The pool was clean with amazing views. And the cottage itself is pretty much as advertised. The folks staying next to us said they had some issues at the main house...temporary loss of electricity, a bit of flooding. But aside from slightly temperamental wifi, we experienced no such problems ourselves. I would stay here again if ever back in Altadena.
