Perfect LA Retreat

This home in Pasadena was a great location to explore everything that LA has to offer. Nestled on a quiet street it was accessible to all the tourist hot spots, also close to the grocery store and gas stations. We enjoyed a perfect day at the homes pool which provided much relief from the California sun! Gina was an amazing host, super responsive and available! Would highly recommend this home

Resort quality pool and spa

Loved the property! The house is clean and modern in a nice quiet neighborhood. Location was close to shopping and freeway access. Love the resort quality backyard pool and spa, a fun oasis for a family vacation. We especially liked the fan and convenient luggage racks in each room. Our host was very responsive. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Stay in Pasadena!

We really enjoyed our stay here! Very homey and comfy. We spent a lot of time in the pool area. It was definitely worth it to pay to heat the pool. The pictures don't do the pool/yard justice - it was so pretty and relaxing. The neighborhood was quiet. Gina checked in a couple of times to make sure everything was good. If we're ever in the area again - we would definitely book here again!

Perfect everything!

This home was the perfect place to stay for the Pasadena half marathon. It is a welcoming, beautiful, very clean home. The set up is great with the three bedrooms, three bathrooms and two living room areas. The best part is the backyard! The home owner created an amazing place to relax, bbq and hang out with family. You can even hang out there at night at the great picnic table with strung lights hanging above. We would definitely rent again!

Fantastic getaway

My family of 3 really enjoyed our time at this Pasadena Airbnb. The house is a great size for a family of 4 or 5. There are 3 good size bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. There's also a pull out couch, so technically you could have 2 more people. However, I believe there is a charge per person for more than 4 people which I think is kind of strange. Not sure if this is an VRBO policy??? The house was very clean, there's a washer, dryer, microwave, and dishwasher. The refrigerator doesn't have an ice maker. There are ice trays, but I suggest buying a bag of ice when you do your shopping. There are 2 living rooms which was really nice to have with a TV each. All electronics worked well. The bedrooms do not have any TVs. I agree with past reviews that the Master bathroom needs a small cabinet, stool, or something to place bathroom necessities on. The kitchen was stocked fairly well, but *really* needs sharp knives, outdoor plates and platters, those are a *must*. I was surprised there weren't any since the backyard is so lovely to hang out in. The backyard is a great size. There's an area to sit, 4 lounge chairs, an expandable picnic table and a bar with a grill. We were there during a 90 degree plus week so I was excited to see an outdoor mini fridge to put drinks and snacks in so we wouldn't have to keep going back and forth to the kitchen, but unfortunately it didn't work well. The fridge never got cold. More grilling equipment needs to be provided such as a metal spatula and tongs. Again, I agree with past reviews that an additional outdoor umbrella is needed. There isn't much shade. Of course the main highlight is the pool, its beautiful, a good size with a jacuzzi. The pool was clean upon arrival and serviced once during our 1 week stay. The pool can be heated upon request which I think is fantastic. There is an extra charge for it. Pool towels are provided, but they aren't "true" pool/beach towels. If renting during the summer definitely bring mosquito spray. The neighborhood for the most part was fine. Our only problem was the house next door was doing some sort of construction in the backyard and woke us up very early every morning with an electric saw. The AC worked beautifully.The WiFi also worked very well. My husband didn't have any problems with his work conference video calls. I hope to see improvements with the outdoor fridge, dishes, pool towels. We had such a great time we've already booked a future stay! Looking forward to it

A delight in SoCal

The house was in a quiet neighborhood with cool eats and coffee a quick walk away. After a long day in L.A. sites and traffic, it was so nice to get the hot tub going. There was plenty of room to spread out and recharge. Host was very attentive and responsive with any questions I had.

USC game

We wanted a space where we could relax and visit as our group came from all over 3 different states. We were very happy with the space. This is turning into an annual trip and we would book this again. I’d recommend a patio heater for the pool deck during the fall but other than that, we were happy!

It was a nice place

We enjoyed staying here during our trip to Hollywood, Disneyland and other areas in Southern California. Gina was OUTSTANDING to work with. We had some questions about how to operate things during the stay and she was always available and quick to respond. It's well stocked and clean. Could use a little updating on the curtains and some of the living room contents but we didn't mind that too much. The appliances worked fine, the pool & hot tub were fantastic and the honeysuckle bushes smelled great when in the backyard. When the fog burns off in the morning, you can see a small glimpse of the mountains from the backyard Thanks for a nice stay, Gina.

We were a group of Aunts and Uncles in town for a family wedding. This house was less than 10 minutes from all the wedding activities as well as several sights we wanted to visit. The pool and hot tub were a nice bonus. House was very clean, charming neighborhood, beds were comfy and house was well stocked with everything we needed.

Gymnastics & Family Visit

My daughter, mom, sister and brother in law all had plenty of space for our trip to Pasadena for my daughter's gymnastics competition and a visit with family in the area! The house was conveniently located about 10 minutes from the convention center and my niece's home. While on our stay we visited Hollywood, Santa Monica, Malibu, Little Tokyo, and several spots in Pasadena. The host was very quick to respond to my questions/messages. We wouldn't have minded some additional towels, however, we were easily able to wash ours with the conveniently located washer/dryer. We enjoyed the hot tub and the pool looked lovely but it was too cold for use while we were visiting. Overall, we had a wonderful stay!
