Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

A touch of classic L.A. in trendy Eagle Rock, between Pasadena and Glendale. An upgraded 1920s-era haven with 2 private back decks looking out at the hills and valley, where you can grill, sip drinks, entertain, and enjoy the sunset and evening breezes.

We have 2 TVs with Netflix, Amazon, HBO Max; wifi, stereo, window A/Cs in 4 rooms, and 2 living spaces. Our 2 bedrooms have a queen & a twin daybed + trundle, all with comfortable mattresses, and in addition to the main bathroom is a small WC off the 2nd BR. The galley-style kitchen is fully equipped, & a gas grill sits right outside the door on the top deck. Along with our cozy piece of paradise come 2 lovely cats--they will want you to adore them. We also have a small dog that occasionally travels with us, but can also stay home with our guests or be boarded.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

Great location in Eagle Rock, accessible to all freeways, near Pasadena, Glendale, Downtown L.A. Both Burbank and the San Fernando Valley lie west of us. The beaches are further west, about an hour drive.

Our little valley of Eagle Rock is full of unique coffee houses, bars, boutiques, bakeries, a used bookshop, & more. We walk to many places, but Metro buses also go through the business district. Within 1/4 to 1 mile are a supermarket & 2 gourmet markets. Restaurants include a 1950s-era pizza house that the L.A. Times dubbed "the best pizza in L.A.," a "slow fast food place featured on the Food Channel, a beer specialty shop, a fine cheese emporium, a wine shop, a small used bookstore, & many other 1-of-a-kind eateries serving Middle Eastern, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Mexican, & BBQ. The actual "Eagle Rock" is a striking natural outcropping at one end of town, & the pastoral campus of Occidental College is nestled in a quaint residential corner of town.

Old Town Pasadena, a popular shopping & night spot, resides 3 miles away over a classic bridge. The Arroyo beneath the bridge is home to the Rose Bowl, a first-rate Aquatic Center, a golf course, & Kidspace Children's Museum. Cultural venues in Pasadena include the Norton Simon Museum of Art, Pasadena Playhouse, the Pacific Asia Museum, the Huntington Library and Gardens, and cinemas all within 5 to 15 minutes' drive from our house. Three miles in the opposite direction from Eagle Rock is the city of Glendale, another large shopping, dining & movie district.

Downtown Los Angeles is a must-visit from our place, a 20-minute drive or reachable by bus or Metro train. Visit Olvera Street, Chinatown, Little Tokyo, & the Arts District; take an L.A. artwalk, visiting galleries and restaurants, and walk up through Grand Park with its magical spouting fountain, where kids wade and play; visit MOCA, the new Broad Museum, the Music Center's theaters and opera house, and the L.A. Philharmonic's architectural marvel, Disney Hall.

Our Preferences

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules

We will take good care of your house and expect the same in return. We do not allow smoking inside. We need pet care & would be happy to return the favor--we have 3 nice cats & a small dog. (The dog might be boarded or travel with us.) The gardener comes on Friday mornings and uses a stored key to the back gate, and our housekeeper comes every 2 weeks on Tuesdays. If your visit corresponds with a date when we have a ticket to the L.A. Philharmonic (a must-do experience for music lovers!), we can possibly sell you that ticket. The same goes for our 2 season tickets to the Center Theatre Group's Mark Taper Forum.
