Host is great, she replies to any need quickly. The home is a steal for the LA area price wise. 3 nice bedrooms and a pull out was more than enough for us. The back yard with pool and hot tub was an oasis after busy days. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Ok so I’m always brutally honest when it comes to reviews, currently my family and I are packing our stuff about to leave this property. I can’t tell you how sad we are this place is beautiful and in a wonderful neighborhood! Gina has absolutely impeccable communication she’s quick and helpful! While here she was on vacation herself and directed us to someone with any issues who was equally as helpful and quick. The property is very well maintained with all the amenities, not too far from LA Pasadena is beautiful and full of friendly welcoming people. The greenery around the property is well kept. For the price I would say it was well worth it. When you enter there is a booklet with clear instructions which was a wonderful reference during our stay. We had zero issues while here. The only regret we have is we couldn’t give more stars for a review! The place is remarkable and I am looking forward to book again in the future!
