About this property

Vintage home near Rose Bowl & JPL/NASA. So many trails great for active folks

Altadena is a fabulous place to stay while visiting Los Angeles and Pasadena, Our place is walking distance to JPL/ NASA and only a 1.5 miles to the Rose Bowl. The house is built in 1951 and still has all original tiles and pine cabinets in the kitchen. It has a lovely gas stove and convection oven, microwave, toaster, pots and pans ect. The pine paneled, main bedroom (The Captain's Room) is surrounded on three side by windows with a queen bed and a glass writing desk which evokes Jules Verne. All the wood work is original and the furniture is vintage. The front bedroom has artistic flair and a large closet with a dresser. Every effort has been made to create an artistic, color-filled, sustainable environment that will charm you and inspire your creativity. A vintage sewing machine is even available for your use. There is an updated bathroom with a large walk in shower and a large living room with a beautiful fireplace, a comfortable sunny dining area the seats six and an extra room (the map room) which could be made up for an extra kiddo. There are front and back yards with orange trees and views of the nearby foothills. If you enjoy vintage charm, handmade artwork, unique decor that is still close to everything, has parking and lightening fast internet as well as a caring host please consider staying at our humble home. Remember to bring your hiking boots or mountain bike because miles of trails are only a 1/4 mile away.

The host was very accommodating and receptive. Kristen answered all our questions promptly and was a great resource. The place was originally not what we had expected but it did grow on us and quickly became our home away from home. It was a great location for our purposes. We would definitely stay there again.

Quiet, lovely visit in optimal location for activities

House was charming. Host was amazing - she went above and beyond, even stocking some breakfast foods when she learned we were coming in late at night so we wouldn't have to shop between the airport and the house. Perfect house to relax and enjoy sunny California!

Long weekend stay

The house was perfect for us! We were visiting our son & daughter-in-law who live within walking distance. Plenty of room for just the two of us! We didn't spend much time int the house, but the bed was comfy and the coffee maker worked! Which are two necessities for me. One little tiny glitch... I think the listing had a hair dryer as an amenity, and I did not see one.

Thank you Joyce - I am glad the place worked for you, and I am so sorry about the hair dryer - It just broke, and I will replace it right away. I am sorry for your inconvenience and promise you will have one when you stay again.

The house is located in a good place and quiet neighborhood. It is roomy, quirky, & delightfully decorated. The beds are very comfortable. There is access to a sizable, private backyard, with yard furniture available. The house was clean on the surface, but is in need of a deep clean process. Kristina was very responsive to my questions and offered some good ideas of places to explore. With that said, there are also repairs that are badly in need. One of the doors does not have a working lock and the window to the door is literally taped in place. Propped against the bottom of the door are 2 10# free weights which it appears is intended to deter any attempt to enter the house. There is a hole in one of the panes of glass in the front room picture window (it is a double pane window) and some windows are lacking curtains. There is very low (trickle like) pressure in one of the bathroom sinks. Despite this property being “no pets allowed” there appears to be a significant amount of pet hair on some of the furniture.
