A long weekend stay

The place was nice, quaint, and clean. The only critique I have was the check in process didn’t specify that the guest house was behind the fence, so I initially got lost. That being said, the host and friends were amazing and helped us out!

Lovely place

Lovely stay. Very helpful, responsive owner. Recommendation: since most people come in a car from out of the area, the owner should handle the parking permit at least for the first night.

2nd stay at this cottage

It was great to return for a second 3-night stay at Lupe's backyard cottage, already knowing that the place would meet all our needs--space, privacy, quiet. The weather was unusually hot during our stay (105, 107), and happily the two AC wall units kept the place quite comfortable. Looking forward to round three on a future trip to Pasadena.

Great host

The property was very clean and all the basics, plus some, provided. The area is quiet and safe. Your own transport would be advantages. One very minor criticism would be the couch was a little uncomfortably firm and not great for watching tv.

Wonderful Stay!!!

We chose this rental for the location (walkable to family for us and an easy ride share to the Burbank airport), and for the great value (vs. a hotel, which have required a car rental). The guesthouse is private, comfortable, clean and spacious. It’s nestled in a beautiful and friendly neighborhood. We were very pleased with the quick and kind communication with our host Lupe.

Sweet cottage in the trees

We enjoyed staying at this spacious cottage. Altadena is dreamy and we had plenty of room and privacy tucked in the trees. The cottage has a full size kitchen and large bedroom great decor and plenty of work space for a working vacation. The location is perfect for visiting LA, everything is a quick drive. We especially loved Millie's which has a large vegan menu and Octavia's Bookshelf bookstore. Pintoresca park is beautiful and close with a skatepark and splash pad. The host is great and easy to communicate with.

Cozy and perfect

The unit was wonderful for our girls weekend. Located close enough to downtown Pasadena for a short Uber trip. Yet, far enough away that the neighborhood was quiet and calm. I would definitely stay again if I return to Pasadena. Also, Lupe was very helpful and suggested some wonderful restaurants that we tried.

Cute little house in Pasadena, but...

Lovely little house with access to a garden in the back. We would stay there again! Very comfortable bed, good work space, great TV screen. There were few cooking condiments which we needed like oil or vinegar. And there was no human contact with the hosts, with no instructions about garbage disposal, or how the TV worked. But the host was kind when we emailed for information. Still....

Welcoming stay

Such a quaint guest house, with whimsical and vibrant accents decorated in the space. The Lupe family were so kind and helpful. Good for 2 people, wifi access very good if you need to telework and extra kit/bath needs available for longer stays. The mattress was a comfortable retrieve from long days out. Close to fantastic restaurants and gardens that are a must see. If in Pasadena have a stay here.

Our stay in Pasadena

Our stay was great. The location was perfect for moving our daughter to school. Lupe was prompt with communication. Our only complaint would be the pillows were to flat, so we went and got our own after a couple days for better sleep, understandably, everyone has their own preferences when it comes to that. The couch is hard and not really comfortable. Everything else about the home is charming and lovely. We had a wonderful stay. Thanks Lupe!

Expected 'Charming/Private Home', got 'Budget garage add-on'

To get to the apt. you walk down the driveway past the gardening pickup truck and pile of gardening tools, through two wooden fences to get to the front door (inside the second wooden fence, just a cement pathway along a wood fence to the two doors to the apt.). The landscaped outdoor pathway in the photos is in the owner’s front yard, cute, but not your path. The apt. is in the owner’s back property and shares a wall with the garage. The apt. felt very budget overall, for instance, the kitchen window looks into a small laundry room instead of to a yard, and there is no dishwasher. The tv is a smart tv, but most of the apps are subscription only so unless you were willing to use your own account to log in, you were very limited. The owners were very friendly and responsive, but overall I expected “Charming/Private Home’ and was disappointed.

PERFECT RENTAL!

I come to Los Angeles once a month for business. I have rented so many different places from Vrbo, and this is definitely one of the best ever. The guest house is immaculate and so well stocked - I almost always find something is missing from the kitchen that I need, but not this time. The check in process was flawlessly easy, and Lupe is an incredibly attentive host. The neighborhood is lovely. I definitely felt safer here than i have at any other rental. I do not have one complaint, not even a tiny one. The guest house is so comfortable and lovely. I will stay here again and highly recommend you do!
