About this bed and breakfast

Situated in San Marino, this attractive bed and breakfast for $143 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. Five minutes' stroll from the many shops and restaurants on Lake Ave, yet nestled in a quiet and leafy residential neighborhood, you are ideally placed for Cal Tech (7 minutes' walk), the annual Rose Parade (20 mins), or NASA's JPL (20 min drive). This tastefully furnished garden property is filled with everything you need to enjoy a relaxing vacation, fun-filled birding day, or a productive business trip to beautiful Pasadena. Our guest house is a welcoming, spacious self-contained flat with private access and off-road parking set to the side and rear of the main house. It comprises a living room leading into bedroom (no dividing door), kitchen, and 3/4 bathroom. Your hosts personally deep-clean all areas, inside and out, between stays so you can rest assured that everything will be sparkling. The cozy living room is a lovely place to relax. It has a bed-settee (usually set up as a settee, but please say if you wish to use as a bed NOTE: suitable for a small adult only), two comfy armchairs, a window-mounted air conditioning unit, central heating, TV (Netflix and Amazon Prime included), and a piano (should you be feeling musical!) Hundreds of books line the walls, please feel free to browse and dip in to a volume or two during your stay. The bedroom also has a piano (yes, really), a walk-in closet and plenty of useful drawer space. Here the bed-settee is permanently made up as a double bed for you, with a memory foam-topped mattress and freshly ironed bedding. The large kitchen overlooks the back garden, and is fully equipped with a gas oven, four burner gas range, microwave, full-size fridge/freezer, kettle, Keurig coffee maker, table, chairs, and full kitchenware. A small, private patio area to the rear of the property makes an ideal spot to unwind in the evenings whilst enjoying the birds and butterflies in our native plant garden. WiFi is included, and guests are welcome to use the washing machine and dryer outside the main house by arrangement. NB: We have two friendly medium-sized dogs who like to sit in the garden during the day, but they never enter the guest house or back patio.

The place was a cozy guest house that made it feel like you could stay longer. The kitchen was a nice space and the bathroom was a good size with a shower stall. The owners were extremely accommodating and even offered additional amenities that was unexpected. The neighborhood was great to walk around through and there are a couple breakfast places about a 5 minute walk away. I would be glad to return here again.

This place is perfect for a weekend get away to Pasadena. It is a separate house behind a main house. Nice kitchen and cozy little home.
