Read More...Many thanks to Susan and Charles for allowing us to change our plans at the last minute when I needed urgent respite from an injury during our trip, and to their son Jon for sorting pet arrangements to accommodate our revised dates. The wonderful patio area was the perfect place to rest my leg on a sunny day. Their comfortable house has easy access to local shops and downtown Pasadena - a very pleasant city, both close enough to and far enough away from, the hubbub of LA. We very much enjoyed our stay, and hope Dinah the cat enjoyed us being there - although we elected not to share her bed!. Ken + Val

Description de notre maison d'échange
Our home is a charming 1921 Craftsman bungalow in a quiet neighborhood just 30 minutes from downtown Los Angeles. Two bedrooms have queen beds, and the third (used as an office) has a double size sofa bed. There is also a garage office with a pull-out double sofa bed, although it is not very comfortable! Pasadena is a cultural paradise, with two of the world's great museums -- the Norton Simon and the Huntington Library and Gardens, terrific theater and concerts and a lively movie and dining life in Old Tom. We are 40 minutes to the beach, 30 minutes to Universal Studios, 50 minutes to Disneyland, 1.5 hours to skiing. We are near a lovely public park with playground and tennis courts, and 10 minutes to great hiking in the San Gabriel mountains. The Rose Bowl aquatic center, with three beautiful swimming pools, is also nearby. We have an oversized brick patio and a huge yard with several varieties of fruit trees. We love it here and think you will as well. Our housekeeper comes weekly.

Description de notre quartier et ses alentours
Lovely tree-lined streets with friendly neighbors. Shops, beautiful park and mountains nearby. The surrounding neighborhoods, like ours, were established between 1900-1920, so they have lots of charm and wonderful craftsman buildings. Close to the Rose Bowl as well as to major freeways.

Nos conseils pour des restaurants, cafés, shopping et activitiés à ne pas manquer
In Pasadena itself there are so many fabulous coffee shops, restaurants, shops, bars, museums....too much to mention! Within 10 minutes you are in the San Gabriel mountains, with wilderness and great hiking. The Mount Waterman Skiing Area is 1.5 hours drive, the ocean is 50 minutes drive, and all that the cultural mecca of Los Angeles has to offer is within an hour's drive. But for us, Pasadena is the best of all. Lovely, old, shaded, but still lively with tons of activities for children and adults.
Ce qu'on apprécie, ce qu'on apprécie moins… Voici nos préférences et nos règles de maison.
NO SMOKING! Otherwise no tough rules. We ask that you respect our neighbors by being quiet after 10 p.m. when using the patios/yards.
