A Huge, Calm, Relaxing, Beautiful Home close to Universal Studio

Great place for our team to relax and watch the Superbowl!

The host was very attentive and quick to respond. For our large party, having the flexibility of seizing bedrooms and various sizes of beds was exactly what we needed.

The kitchen wasn’t clean. There were ants all over that we had to spray. The dishwasher didn’t work properly. There was damage to sink drains and floor vents weren’t secured by screws. My 88 year old mother-in-law tripped over one in the living room and thankfully caught her own fall on a chair. A swim spa was advertised and was trashed and obviously hadn’t been working for some time. Location is great but no money has been put into repairs on this place for some time! VRBO beware!

Owner was great and responsive. House was as advertised, and lovely.

Was there with family for the Caltech graduation and the living spaces were ideal. Only one bathroom on top floor so need to have family that are ok sharing. 1st floor bedrooms are great with privacy and lots of light. Also enjoyed the patio seating area for comfortable conversations.

First let me say that this is the first time I have ever used a VRBO.So I had no idea what I was doing or what to expect. All I knew was that my whole family could stay together and make this a great time for all. After all my second oldest was getting married and this was the answer to everyone being able to come. I was expecting to have similar hotel things. Staying a week ment your usual supplies, towels, toilet paper, soap,( both body and dishes&laundry) TV ( which there was just not cable). There was no information in regards to trash, recycling and other things like where is the iron and table? Where is the broom.When I first approach the residence I thought very nice. Lots of rooms for everyone and my granddaughter had lots of room to run. But after a few nights things started to change. Showers need to be fixed, grounds need more attention. Never used BBQ and wouldn't. This house is on a corner of a busy street, lots of noise. The house needs exterior renovation. Interior floors need repair. This was mentioned to host and hopefully repaired.We had issues with electrical in the main living area and the main door lock. The Host was quick to respond but took a couple of days to get it right. I'm a no nonsense kinda of person. And under the circumstances I had to accept the terms of VRBO. Paid upfront and had 7 people under my supervision for a week. So when they start complaining I felt let down. I can't just leave like a could at a hotel. Lesson learnt.

The house is beautiful, has lots of amenities. Lots of bedrooms and lots of cool historical doors and built ins. Decorated and cozy. A backyard that needs a little bit of maintenance before Summer hits. A very long well maintained swim spa and BBQ. It is just a great place to spend time with family. It is on a busy street but the neighborhood definitely makes up for it. There are cool coffee places a fantastic cafe and old town Pasadena just 10 mins away. There are some things that need to be fixed or maintained inside the home, but with a little TLC this place can be a rental to come back to year after year.

Our family enjoyed bring in a home where we could spread out. Two conversation and two eating areas as described. Off street parking, can walk to cafes. On a busy street but that wasn’t a problem

Great location and very spacious. Lots of bright roomy bedrooms. Love the original craftsman features but many are worn or painted over. Several items broken or not working properly upon arrival including porch shades torn, one first floor toilet not flushing, bathroom sink clogged, rear screen door latch and closer. With more attention to details this could be a really great place.

Never stayed. Only stuck on the sidewalk thanks to VRBO. Left us to fend for ourselves with four small children that had been on a plane all day. Really ruined our trip.
