Stayed Feb 19, 2026The space was awesome - larger than some of our previous rentals. Nice, quiet street, with a great breakfast spot just a 5 minute walk around the corner. Everyone we encountered, from our host, Lupe, to neighbors on our walks, to the proprietor of the breakfast place, was super friendly. We would absolutely stay here again!

Stayed Oct 13, 2025So very clean, easy check in, host was super friendly and responsive - everything I needed for basic kitchen functions, plenty of towels and some really nice blankets - It was a very comfortable and restorative stay! Walkable to a great breakfast spot, I'm already bookmarking it to stay here again! Lupe (and everyone else I bumped into during my stay) was super nice!

Stayed Oct 6, 2025It was our third time staying in this sweet cottage--need I say more? I'll just note that the couch and coffee table have been replaced from those shown in the photos as of this date (10/25). The couch is definitely more cozy than the one prior reviewers described as uncomfortable. I'll check availability again for our next SoCal trip.

Stayed Oct 9, 2025The house had everything we needed and more! Very clean, cozy and felt like home! The office space was a perfect set up for me to catch up on work while still being able to hang out with my son in the living room. Lupe responded quickly and her check in/out directions were easily to follow and clear. Thank you!!

Stayed Aug 1, 2025A comfortable, clean and charming place to stay. Host is great, neighborhood is nice. Kitchen appliances, AC, bathroom stuff , etc. worked which not always the case with VRBOs. Only hassle is street parking, you need a permit from the city.

Stayed Jul 10, 2025Lovely guest house, responsive owner, quit neighborhood. Notjing to do with the property or the owner, but rather that one cannot park on the street overnight. Necessary to buy a license of some kind from the city of Pasadena and park around the corner. Just not too convenient but again, that's the city not the homeowner.

Stayed Jul 2, 2025Cute house. Very comfortable bed and bedding. Kitchen was fine for basic cooking. Not a lot of cooking extras. Very nice neighborhood. Very quiet. Problems with WiFi connection that was resolved the last day of our stay.

Stayed May 30, 2025The 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!

Stayed Apr 7, 2025To 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.

Stayed Mar 5, 2025I had a work conference in Pasadena and I wanted something substantially more personal than a hotel. Lupe’s place was just the thing. It was quiet, gorgeously decorated, and full of the home amenities I was craving. The neighborhood was so beautiful, and there was an excellent breakfast spot a few minutes walk away. I used Metro to get back downtown, and it was a simple 15 minute bus ride. I’d absolutely stay here again.

Stayed Nov 24, 2024Lovely 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....

Stayed Oct 4, 2024The 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.

Stayed Sep 8, 2024It 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.

Stayed Aug 31, 2024Our 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!

Stayed Aug 23, 2024We 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.
