What a gem! John's home is truly an oasis for a peaceful stay in the beautiful foothills of the San Gabriel mountains. We stayed here while awaiting for baby #2 with our 2-year-old, and were able to use this gorgeous space to spend time with relatives in the area. I don't think we ever really left the entire time other than to get food! The home is truly spacious and feels luxurious with fantastic views on the expansive deck. Stairs lead down to the private pool area, and we felt like we were in an old-Hollywood movie (remember to bring mosquito repellent if you want to stay outside later). John sent very helpful and detailed information for how to best enjoy his home. It is his family home, so be aware that there will be family photos/clothes/items that belong to his family, but we treated it as a home stay and were not bothered by it. There were also a few areas that could have been a bit cleaner--for example, there was a slight musty smell coming from the kids room and debris we cleared from the deck/swimming pool area--nothing major. Overall, being able to enjoy the pool, deck, spacious living area, and hospitality from John made our trip so magical and relaxing. Thank you again for sharing your home with us, John! :)
