Ellen and Ken are the perfect hosts. They are friendly, kind, and accommodating. We stayed in their suite for five weeks while transitioning from Seattle to our new city of Los Angeles and could not have picked a better place.We had access to a lovely orange tree right outside the door. There's also a calming fountain which lulls you to sleep each night. We were moments away from hikes in the San Gabriel Mountains, shops and restaurants in Pasadena, and a short drive from all the city has to offer. After spending a day in the crowds of Hollywood, Santa Monica, or downtown LA, it's nice to return to the peace and calm of beautiful Altadena and Ken & Ellens home.
