Amazing property! Nicely appointed & well maintained. Had no idea such a serene back yard could be found in suburban LA. It was great sitting outdoors in December getting a tan (temps in high 60s) and feeling like we were @a retreat in Napa. The electric fireplace indoors was a nice touch once the sun set & it got a bit chilly. Despite Hilda the hostess (very sweet lady) occupying the front home, we saw/heard zero of her coming/goings. Can’t wait to return for our next So.Cal LA trip.

This is a wonderful place to stay! There was plenty of space for me, my adult son, and our pet. Our host anticipated everything guests might need and this felt warm and welcoming. The kitchen is well stocked and organized. There is a lovely garden with string lights that come on at night. This made the garden magical.

Our stay at Private Affaire, July 16th thro July 19th.

We were delighted with the overwhelming cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Everything we needed in a “Home Away From Home” was there. The beds were super comfortable, plenty of closet space, super clean and airy! Bob Marley print in bedroom was a cherry on top!! Really appreciated the washer and dryer. The outdoor space is delightful, lovely sitting areas! The chatty, giant parakeets were delightful entertainment! We enjoyed walking around the pleasant neighborhood. So much to see and do in Pasadena! Our host, Hilda, was a blessing. She was supportive, understanding, flexible and generous during a drastic change of plans. We highly recommend staying in her cozy, quiet cottage! Great location! We will surely plan to return in the future! Sincerely, David and Nora

Superb!!

The property is an absolutely gorgeous, spacious, comfortable, cozy lone standing home. Has two ample rooms and a sofa bed in the living room. Fully equipped kitchen, large TV with all channels. There's a very large private patio with beautiful landscaping,chairs and tables to hang out. Good WIFI. You access by opening a sliding gate with a remote control you'll be provided, and parking is inside the property. The neighborhood is very nice with restaurants, supermarkets and anything you may need nearby. The Rose Bowl is 1mile away and downtown LA 25mins.Hilda is very attentive and responds to any questions promptly. This was a very special place!!!
