A clean, quiet retreat.
The good points are as follows - a very clean property with a well stocked kitchen. The beds were comfortable as well as the furniture. The street parking was right in front of the entrance. It is a very quiet neighborhood so anyone planning on entertaining a large group with loud music won’t be appreciated by the neighbors. Things that I would improve are the towels and install protective fencing around the open fireplace.

Our Son's Graduation Trip
We loved our stay here! It was exactly as described and the online photos were an accurate reflection of the accommodations. Our trip was for our son's HS Graduation as he is pursuing a career in film, so it was a perfect location for venturing out to explore LA and the surrounding areas. It's in a beautiful, quiet location, and was such a lovely place to come back to each night. We also stayed cool during the heat wave. I had a Zoom meeting for work after our checkout time, and one of the property management staff generously made arrangements for me to use another one of their nearby properties for my meeting since late checkout was not available at this location due to arriving guests. It was seamless to communicate back and forth with her, and the other property was beautiful and also very well maintained. Would stay again and highly recommend it to others!

Great Location
Great location, quiet neighborhood, and really nice neighbors. The place could use better curtains, and much more comfortable mattresses. If you like to cook, the cookware leaves a lot to be desired. It's mostly thrift store leftovers, but it got the job done.

Great house with 2 BR for two people but in the fire zone
House was beautifully decorated in grays although basically it's an old house with lots of paint. Well stocked kitchen with staples (would be nice to list them all because we duplicated some). Could add a scissors instead of one of the can openers. The back terrace was beautiful to hang out in (but could use sprucing up). It's only a 3 block walk to El Prieto Canyon Trailhead. Only concern is development's location on a spit of land surrounded by ravines and only 1 road in or out. We'd stay there again! We're 78 and 82 and liked to have our own bedrooms.

Refuge in Altadena
We attended a concert at the Rose Bowl and were able to take street roads “home” and arrived within 15 min. Traffic on the street is very low and parking off driveway safe and close. The house is a wonderful combination of old Pasadena/Altadena and every modern convenience. Beautiful and perfectly designed for privacy yet open and saviors. We felt at home immediately -thoughtful touches everywhere and very quiet. Our dog was in heaven after a long drive to find the great backyard. The deck and yard are gorgeous with outdoor sitting. It Took us two days to even realize their was a neighbor in the back!!! A very kind soul w two completely quiet and sweet babies that we were able to meet. We will return!

What a cute little apartment!
This apartment is nestled back in the Altadena hills, in a quiet neighborhood. The backyard patio is a really nice place to get some sun or enjoy a morning coffee. Kate helped us on this trip and was prompt and on time with our reservation. She loved some nice touches, like a bottle of wine, snacks and plenty of water. Thank you, Kate, for ensuring we were taken care of this weekend. Will rent again! -Glenn

Filthy furniture and loud barking dogs
The property is not as pictured. The couch is so filthy that I couldn't sit on it. Chairs were filthy as well. The hot water heater is not bolted, as required by CA code. The floors were dirty, with crumbs and debris all over. There are 3 loud, big dogs that are kept outside-- just across from bedroom window. They start barking at 4:30 or 5am and continue all morning. Not pleasant.
