About this property

South Pasadena Charmer-L.A. adjacent, Rose Bowl, Old Town Pasadena, off Rte 66

A beautiful tree house cottage in a very quiet little village just north of LA. We are a 5 minute walk to the Gold Line Metro which can take you to Union Station, the Hollywood Bowl, Staples Center and the beach as well as numerous other sought after destinations in and around Los Angeles and Hollywood. We are right off of the famous and historic Route 66 where the original Fair Oaks Pharmacy and Soda fountain sits since 1905. We are about 2 miles to the Rose Parade starting point and float line-up and the Rose Bowl. We have a nice selection of restaurants, in our little town, and even our own Irish pub for imbibing your favorite beverage or to enjoy some live entertainment.
Dodger stadium is a short distance by car or ride-share and is right next to Chinatown. Neighboring Pasadena is of course, a whole 'nother world of foodies paradise and wonderland of things to do.

Super clean and well appointed. Quiet location with off-street parking. Many restaurants a short walk away. Our week long stay was so very enjoyable! Michelle and Kenny were superb, attentive, and friendly hosts who made our stay stress free! We have stayed in local hotels in prior years, but found our stay here so much better than those. Thank you, Michelle and Kenny!

This wonderful place is so perfect, it makes a delightful stay in south Pasadena. The apartment has everything you need. Great for a couple! Just a short walk to great coffee (Jones) and really great food—especially breakfast: the Harvest Grill. Walking around the neighborhood is also a pleasure. Very quiet and comfortable.

Fantastic!

We went to the Rose Bowl and Parade and this place was perfectly located to be out of the hubub but close enough for easy access to all of the festivities. It was clean and the bed was really comfortable. The sheets were silky soft. The kitchen was updated and cute and just what we needed for a couple of days on the go.

It was a nicely furnished, thoughtful and comfortable place to stay on a busy weekend. Well decorated, with home appliances and kitchen staples. It was quiet and the bed was really comfortable. I had a lot of trouble with the VRBO app and website, but Michelle was very quick to respond to direct messages and made me feel much better about getting there. Thanks!

Great place!

Description and photos are accurate. Clean, comfortable, secure and convenient. Michelle is a wonderful host. This was my second time here as a solo traveler. For 3 weeks it was my home away from home while visiting family and friends. Having your own washer and dryer is an extra plus. The location is perfect in historic S.Pasadena and very walkable to great restaurants, shops, coffee houses and the train. I plan to book again next year.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle and Kenny

Host profile image
Kenny and Michelle have been living in South Pasadena for 24 years. They love it here and want to share the specialness of it.

Why they chose this property

This wonderful location makes big impressions with a small town feel. The property is incredibly well situated as a suburb of Los Angeles. It is close to many, many great and historic options for dining, entertainment and tourist attractions, but still retains a quiet, secluded quality. We love to be able to walk everywhere in town. We walk for groceries, to catch a ball game on TV at a local bar and to take the metro gold line into Pasadena for shopping and trying new restaurants, for example. There is truly so much to do close by that we always have easy-going options for whatever we want to do. And we love the people here.
