Great place to stay! Very nice space in a nice, quiet neighborhood. Walking distance to a grocery store, donut shop, etc., which were very close by. Also, walking distance just a little farther to many fast food places, Walgreens, etc. The space itself was very nice! Comfortable beds, nice kitchen & bathroom. Highly recommended!

Lovely place with a great patio

It was everything for a fun weekend going to the Rose 🌹 Bowl. Cute cottage with all the amenities. Since we were 5 adults, we were grateful to the additional bed in the mini cottage. The host was extremely prompt in responses ( even when out of the country!)

Perfect Place in Pasadena

Everything about the City of Roses Retreat exceeded our expectations. It was just the type of place we wanted! Gloria was a great host, and provided us with everything we could have needed. When we come back to Pasadena, this place will be at the top of our list. ☺️

The listing was as advertised - but the patio was a great plus - a private oasis near the Pasadena Rose Parade route. Gloria was responsive and a great host.

Nice Cottage in a Nice Neighborhood

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The property met our needs (three adults and an almost teenager). Everything was clean and comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and nice to walk in, especially towards the Bungalow Heaven neighborhood. There are lots of food options nearby that are walkable. It was in a great location (in our opinion) to visit Hollywood, Long Beach, Simi Valley and Huntington Beach. Excellent communication with the host. Would definitely stay here again.

Home away from home

We stayed from 8/31 to 9/4 to help our daughter move into grad school. Great proximity to Caltech well as many restaurants and shopping. Check in was simple with the key box, loved the privacy/security gate for the guest house as we had two cars full of luggage and dorm items. Great outdoor space, laundry, well appointed modern kitchen, toiletries and very comfy beds. Nice touch with the coffee syrups and beans set up in the kitchen. Gloria was so hospitable and even helped us take delivery of a pretty heavy shipment from Amazon prior to our arrival. All instructions were detailed and helpful and the gathering space/dining was comfortable for 3 adults. Hope to stay here again in the future!

Wonderful area to stay in. We loved the history of Pasadena. Close to so many attractions such as Griffith Observatory, Atwater Village, Huntington Library and Gardens, Old Pasadena. The neighborhood is walkable to Bungalow Heaven and other historic areas. The parking is tight but doable. The little house had everything we needed. Gloria was super responsive to any questions I had. I’d recommend this place to anyone.

Great location to visit Presidential libraries and museums.

The property was just right for the 2 of us. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. We chose this location because we planned to visit both Nixon's and Reagan's Presidential museums and possibly downtown L.A. We had plenty of towels, the beds were comfy and the host graciously provided coffee and necessaries. Gloria checked in by text frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. The patio area is lovely.

Family visit

We were in Pasadena to visit family. The guest house is exactly as pictured and immaculate. The check in process was very easy. It is just a short drive or Uber ride to many amazing restaurants and attractions. The binder contained info on restaurants, attractions and everything you needed to know about the cottage. Gloria was a great host, very considerate. We enjoyed the patio area for morning coffee or relaxing in the evening.

So close it brings back memories

My family (husband, 2 young adult kids and myself) used to live very close to this darling cottage in Pasadena. So when we decided on a shirt visit, location was a consideration. As soon as we checked in (very easy, the instructions were very good) we put on our shoes and took a walk. What a day we picked, jasmine in full heady bloom, roses at their peak and jacaranda trees all decked in purple! Perfect location for walking to Colorado Blvd and Old Town. The next day I dipped my kids over to a universal Studios...it took less than 20 minutes. The little cottage is lovely. Well appointed, bright and clean and with the outside space it felt roomy. All the media one could want. The local places info binder would be a great help to anyone unfamiliar with the area, but for us it was a stroll down memory lane! This location would be great for attending the Tournament of Roses Parade or game. Pasadena has easy access to so much with the 210 and the 134 very close by. We'd stay here again with no hesitation. Thank you to our hosts, although we never met them!
