Situated on a beautiful, quiet, wide tree lined street in the North East area of Pasadena facing the beautiful San Gabriel mountains.. . .very safe, friendly neighborhood.

There are six fruit trees, 2 large orange tress loaded for your freshly squeezed morning orange juice! Lemon, avocado and pomegranate tree. Numerous rose bushes (of course!).

Old Town Pasadena and The Rose Bowl are just a few minutes away... Just minutes to the 210 Fwy entrance. Los Angeles is 10 miles south on the 110 Freeway, the beaches are 25 miles south and west. 20 minutes from the Burbank Airport, Close to CalTech and the famous Huntington Gardens, 15 minutes from Santa Anita racetrack and Los Angeles Arboretum. There is also a Los Angeles Metro station less than half a mile away (the Allen stop on the Gold Line).

Please also note - I have a guesthouse the Rose Cottage I built on the property in the past year - as I travel a lot for work - I se this as my base when I am in town - and might be there during your stay. The guesthouse is VERY private with front and back fences - and this has NO impact on your use of the house, driveway, patio, BBQ or backyard - those are all yours to use.

The house is within walking distance to Victory Park/Sierra Madre Blvd where the Rose Bowl floats are displayed for the two days following the Parade. There is also a local farmers market near the park every Saturday morning with local grown fruits, veggies and bakery items.

I am very happy to negotiate a competitive, great rate if you are seeking longer than a month.

    We had a great stay at Marla’s charming home in Pasadena. Needed a short term refuge as a result of displacement from the fire and Marla’s home had everything we needed to make our stay easy and comfortable! She was also so easy to communicate with and very welcoming and hospitable. Lovely quiet neighborhood in a great location with easy access to all we needed in Pasadena/Altadena. Wonderful property with a great host!

    We really enjoyed our stay. I’m sorry we didn’t have more time to spend there. The whole place was very comfortable and beautifully restored. We live in a 1920’s house and love older homes. Marla did such a nice job with keeping so many of the original details while at the same time updating the important parts. The roses were in full bloom and lovely, as was the sweet smelling jasmine. Thank you for a quiet and comfortable place to lay our heads after a busy day.

    Just a wonderful experience, from start to finish. Marla is one of the best hosts we have met in all our travels, friendly, responsive and has thought of everything she could to make our stay more comfortable. The cottage was immaculate and indeed charming, decorated in a vintage style befitting a home in the Bungalow Heaven neighborhood of Pasadena, where I read that the craftsman homes there have earned a spot on the National Register of Historic Places! The neighborhood was quiet and safe. We especially loved the patio accessed through French doors, surrounded by Marla's beautiful rose gardens. We were in the area visiting our new grandson, and hope to return to this rental many times in the future!

    Clean, quiet, roomy, nicely furnished, abundantly supplied and amenitized! Owner was very kind and communicative. The kitchen has everything. We were 3 adults and a 1 year-old so backyard (with fruit trees!) was a plus as was the playground within walking distance. Really felt like home here!

    Marla was a wonderful host. She provides some breakfast items and a fairly well stocked pantry. She was attentive to our needs and even had fans shipped from Amazon since there was a major heatwave and the ac was having an issue. I highly recommend this property.

    We stayed at this beautiful home for eight days with my family to attend my daughter’s college graduation. This home is complete with all amenities and much more beautiful than described on VRBO. Marla is very helpful. We needed shower chair and mini food grinder for my mom and she arranged it on very short notice. I would like to stay in this home when visiting Pasadena in future.
