We truly enjoyed our stay at your property. We were visiting for a wedding in San Gabriel. Real close to the venue, nice neighborhood, easy walk to convenient areas. Highly recommend.
Very nice little place just in the back of the main house in beautiful San Gabriel. Host was very nice and friendly and got us everything we needed. I let them know about ants being inside one of the bedrooms and they are having the cleaners take care of it. Had no issues. Would stay there again. Also pet friendly, which is great for our dog who joined
