Over the garage of a handsome Monterey style house in an estate area of Altadena, this stay was one of the more pleasant Airbnb surprises. Up steep stairs this is a gem of a studio that was a perfect size for this solo traveler. This place is a good value: the mini fridge, coffee machine and microwave with some staples provided were all I needed and the room was a bit bigger than I expected. The water pressure in the shower is impressive. It’s an uninsulated historic house so it warms up, but between the AC and opening the windows it was very manageable. Margie kept in communication with me and I felt cared for without feeling imposed upon. There’s a nice selection of books, too. I would definitely stay here again!
