Wow!!! what a beauty this house was, they thought of everything...well stocked with towels, dishes etc. the backyard was beautiful to enjoy outside and very quiet neighborhood.
Ruth, I wanted to take a moment to emphasize just some of the features of your home that we took advantage of during our stay. For starters, the proximity to JPL was key to our decision to stay in Pasadena while visiting our son. It is also very close to the very first disc golf course in the world – Oak Grove – which I played 4 times. Having a private, non-shared home for the week was very important to us. We’d start by planning each day during breakfast before going out to experience a different activity in Los Angeles. We’d end our day in the pool in the late afternoon and debrief there before dinner. The pool was great. During our stay, the daytime temperature was between 92 and 100 degrees. We did not need to use the pool heater at all during our stay. From the pool, we marveled at the beautiful landscaping that surrounded the pool area. We could spot a few oranges that looked almost ready to pick in the tree! We used the grill to cook out a couple of evenings. It was perfect. Having the ability to do laundry during our stay meant having very little to do when we returned home! Inside the home décor preserved the beauty of the craftsman bungalow style in detail. One morning we used the oven to bake cookies for the big cookie contest at JPL (3rd place in the contest). We were so busy during our trip that we didn’t have a chance to watch television at all – which was really nice. And we were usually so tired that we were asleep by about 9:30 every night. Thank You!!!
Had a wonderful experience at this cute house in the historic bungalow district in Pasadena. It was fully stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The owner said they are getting custom blinds for the upstairs loft soon. Just be aware it makes for little privacy and makes it hard to sleep if you are sensitive to light.
We love staying at this house. This was our third stay. The Hochberg's are very responsive to our questions and needs. The weather was too cold to use the pool and spa. The new per diem cost to use and heat the pool/spa is now prohibitive. In the future, we will most likely choose a property that does not have a pool.
My husband and I came to Seattle with three 90-year old parents, for our son’s college graduation. The house is lovely and the back yard a serene sanctuary. The only things I will point out is that the two rooms with queen beds the beds are very high for short people. Also there is not a handrail at front entrance. These are only issues if you are visiting with folks who have balance and mobility issues. Despite these challenges we all had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the house/backyard tremendously. Thank you Ruth!
Our family of 4 spend almost two month at the house. The house is Conveniently located in a quite family neighborhood. The house was comfortable, cozy with well equipped kitchen that has everything you need for cooking and enjoying family meals. Little touches all over the house makes you feel welcomed. Our favorite place was to spend time at the beautiful outdoor patio, with lemon and orange trees, pool and jacuzzi. Wonderful garden makes one feel on vacation. Everything is well taken care off. The owners are incredibly responsive and accommodating. We would highly recommend the place.
The place is great. We are returning in March 2023.. The only slight negative is the incessant barking of the two dogs next door to the south. Also, we had some issues controlling the pool and spa with the app. For some reason, our principal phone would not work. We had to download the app to a second phone. The unit is wonderfully equipped with every possible thing that one would need. The Hochbergs are great landlords and very responsive to our needs.
Pristine, lovely and homey. Ruth, I just want to say that it was absolutely adorable and it made us feel like we were in someones warm, inviting home instead of stuffy hotel, but all we were saying is that we want to buy your lovely home and live there. It was peeerfeect for our needs. The memories that we made there for my son's wedding is truly priceless. Location was fabulous, we were about 6 minutes from the brides home and 5 minutes from the other family that booked there vrbo's. I would love to stay there again, I hope that we were happy with is as quests as well. Thank You, Warm Wishes Lisa and her Friends
The home was beautiful and we enjoyed our stay overall. The upstairs children's bedroom does however need blinds/window coverings to keep the room temperature reasonable and to keep the sun out in the early morning so that children can sleep. Currently there are no window coverings in that room so we had to make do with a DIY approach during our stay. I did also have a difficult moment with the owner who accused us of having a dog in the house (having received false information from someone - a disgruntled neighbor perhaps?) with no basis for the accusation and who did not apologize for the upset her rude accusation caused us. So beware of that risk. The location was perfect for our stay but I suspect the neighbors aren't too happy with having people coming and going and may have deliberately raised a false alarm to create an issue between us and the owner. Either way her approach was rude and accusatory, and we did not appreciate that. I would not return on that basis.
Gorgeous property and lovely amenities!
We loved the place. The Hochberg's were most responsive to all questions and concerns. Their regular service people were on time and did superb work. We have scheduled two more stays at this property. We wanted to do a third, but the place was booked.
This is the second time we stayed in this house We loved both times Very comfortable inside Great outside, perfect for eating at a large table for 8 people Pool and hot tub very nice Great neighborhood We will go back with no hesitations
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the property. The kitchen is fully equipped, spacious and in a quiet and charming neighborhood. The pool and spa and surrounding landscaping made for a very relaxing time. We were in LA for our daughter's wedding weekend and had the week before for last minute planning and relaxation. It was a gracious home for us to have two couples stay with us and to congregate with some of our wedding guests. My husband and I would like to come back and stay for a month next winter.
