Home Away from Home

From the minute we stepped into the Cottage we felt like we walked into a Home. This place was the best and the Property Manager even better. Best equipped short term stay place I’ve been to. My friend and I enjoyed our stay while taking in the Events near and around Pasadena. Can’t wait to rebook on our next adventure to the area! Thank you, Hilda!

Superb!!

The property is an absolutely gorgeous, spacious, comfortable, cozy lone standing home. Has two ample rooms and a sofa bed in the living room. Fully equipped kitchen, large TV with all channels. There's a very large private patio with beautiful landscaping,chairs and tables to hang out. Good WIFI. You access by opening a sliding gate with a remote control you'll be provided, and parking is inside the property. The neighborhood is very nice with restaurants, supermarkets and anything you may need nearby. The Rose Bowl is 1mile away and downtown LA 25mins.Hilda is very attentive and responds to any questions promptly. This was a very special place!!!

Our stay at Private Affaire, July 16th thro July 19th.

We were delighted with the overwhelming cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Everything we needed in a “Home Away From Home” was there. The beds were super comfortable, plenty of closet space, super clean and airy! Bob Marley print in bedroom was a cherry on top!! Really appreciated the washer and dryer. The outdoor space is delightful, lovely sitting areas! The chatty, giant parakeets were delightful entertainment! We enjoyed walking around the pleasant neighborhood. So much to see and do in Pasadena! Our host, Hilda, was a blessing. She was supportive, understanding, flexible and generous during a drastic change of plans. We highly recommend staying in her cozy, quiet cottage! Great location! We will surely plan to return in the future! Sincerely, David and Nora

Comfortable home, lovely backyard

We enjoyed our visit especially being able to sit in the backyard (plus there was a private outdoor seating area). Everything was provided. Slightly cold indoors - but it was colder than normal for the time of year.
