We enjoyed our stay very much! The Artist’s Retreat is a cozy and beautiful space, we especially appreciated the private outdoor spaces and the Novy mural. We were visiting with our chihuahua and our host Van-Martin made us all feel very welcome. We also enjoyed walking around the residential neighborhood and seeing all the beautiful houses and peacocks. It is a bit too far to walk to Old Town Pasadena, but there are some restaurants and other amenities nearby. It is also very close to Huntington Gardens. An excellent option, we would definitely stay there again.
