Immaculate well provisioned bungalow near CalTech

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Needed ready access to campus for reunion events; this lovely gem is the nicest we've stayed in (and we rent with HomeAway often). From the welcome wine (a nice cab), salsa, chips and cookies to the cottage cheese/strawberry topping single packs in the frig, they supply everything you need to get started. Bed is comfy, towels fluffy, shower pressure good. Would easily house family of four with living room futon. Excellent communication by Vacation Living. Highly recommend.

Clean and comfortable

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Upon arrival there was a “snack box” with chips, salsa, cookies, coffee and wine provided, which I thought was a very nice touch. Having an access code instead of a key for the door was extremely convenient and less hassle than having to remember to take, and carry around, an additional key. The bed was comfortable and there were plenty of towels which I really appreciated. I wish there was a TV in the bedroom but it really didn’t make that much of a difference for the few nights that we were there. Bottom line is, I would rent this apartment again.

My stay at the Sycamore was great!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was accurately described. I was pleasantly surprised that all amenities were supplied! I didn't have to go out and buy toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo, laundry detergent, etc. The kitchen was well stocked with coffee maker, toaster, flatware, etc. They also provided a dvd player, stereo and board games. There were maps with recommended things to do and restaurants in the area. The bungalow was neat and clean. There was plenty of drawer and closet space to unpack my suitcase. I loved the private sitting area out back. The location was excellent. It is just off Orange Grove and close to most everything you'd want. The management team of Kathleen and Helena were very professional and kept contact with me before, during and after my stay. I would definitely recommend this bungalow to everyone.

Quaint Little Place with Everything you Need

The Sycamore was exactly as described and the little fenced in courtyard in front was a nice surprise when arriving - it was lovely that the apartment wasn't right on the street. The owner made my arrival welcome with a lovely gift basket and an informative binder with all the information I would need about the apartment and the area for my stay. I was traveling on business and spend at least one week in Pasadena a month, so it was a wonderful break from a hotel and nice to have a place to call my own,. I loved the kitchen which was stocked with everything I needed in order to cook dinner on most evenings. For those nights I didn't want to cook, it was a 20 minute walk or 2 minute drive to the busy Colorado St.with all the shops and restaurants you would need. The WiFi was strong, and the TV selection / choices were abundant - these are things not all would necessarily find big conveniences, but because I am a business traveler, it was such a bonus to have WiFi that wasn't slow or only 16 ESPN or Fox news channels to choose from. If you are traveling to Pasadena and are looking for a good "home base", this is the place. The apartment was clean, perfect sized, and in a perfect location. You have parking, easy access to the freeway, and both down and old town areas AND you certainly can't beat the price.

Pasadena Apartment

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I stayed for two months.This cozy 1 bedroom apartment was near Garfield Heights, which is known for its charming bungalows. And close to shopping/dining districts as well as the center of town and Colorado Boulevard. The unit was cozy — living room and table for two dining area all combined. But it was immaculate and a nice basket of goodies was there on my arrival. The kitchen was also immaculate and well appointed with a coffee maker and toaster, and also had a good assortment of pots and pans, cutlery, glasses and plates, utensils. But there were no placemats or dish towels or scissors, so I bought my own.My only real quibble was with the heating system. During my two-month stay, the temperatures were in the high 30s and low 40s at night. There was only one HVAC unit in the apartment and it was in the bedroom. So the kitchen and living room/dining room and bathroom would get quite cold. The ceiling fan in the bedroom helped push some heat into the other rooms.

LOVED our stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I stayed at the Pasadena Bungalow for 6 nights in May 2016. It most definitely met our 3C requirements: Clean, Comfortable, Convenient. The location is wonderful. 5-7 minutes to Gamble House, Norton Simon Museum & downtown Pasadena with all its great restaurants; 11 minutes to Huntington; 20 minutes (35 with traffic) to Universal Studios. There is a small supermarket and burger place within 3 blocks - an easy walk even for those who do not like walking. We loved the location - so close to everything we wanted to see. The bungalow was squeaky clean. The house book which explains where everything is and how to use it is very helpful. All the appliances worked well. The nice size TV with HD channels & DVD were great. Having a full size washer/dryer was super helpful. Toaster was wonderful - perfectly toasted bagels each time. The kitchen was well supplied with cooking/eating utensils, paper towels, dish soap, new sponge, cooking oil, spices, etc. Plenty of towels in the bathroom - we did not even use them all. I really liked being able to open windows for fresh air in each room, and the sheer curtains for privacy during the day and drapes for privacy at night are really nice. Plenty of storage place. The mattress was wonderful. We slept great all 6 nights. The only thing I did not care for was the height of the bed, which is the modern, high style. It's very stylish, but can be imposing to a 5'4" person. However, I got used to getting up and down it, and we enjoyed really good sleep on that wonderful mattress. The pass code lock was easy to use. We appreciated the lovely gift basket of goodies we found on our arrival. The manager responded very quickly to the one question we had after our arrival. Overall, we were VERY happy with everything and plan to stay here again on our next trip to Pasadena. We really enjoyed our trip and our stay at this bungalow.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I had the occasion to live at The Sycamore for three months while I transitioned from Texas into a new job and ultimately a new home. I truly loved my stay there. It is exactly as advertised. The location cannot be beat with regards to being close to everything in Pasadena. The bungalow is clean and well maintained. It was perfect for what I needed. The hosts were very attentive to anything I needed, and accommodated my continuous stay extensions due to my house not closing on time.

Wonderful Bungalow So Close to Old Town!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This little bungalow is a hidden gem in the city. One of four bungalows around a courtyard, it is quiet and comfortable. My first impression was appreciation for how clean and fresh the bungalow was, with a lovely gift basket full of goodies. A full kitchen, laundry, private outdoor seating area, good light and a strong wifi signal, I enjoyed my time in the Pasadena area. Great for a couple or family with a small kid, I was happy to have found this spot and will definitely stay again!

Quaint and clean home away from home!

We stayed in this cute little bungalow for two weeks while our house was being renovated. It was the perfect home away from home! The things I enjoyed most were: 1) Clean! Clean! Clean! The place was spotless and well appointed with everything you may need (soap, towels, etc). 2) Location! Was fabulous for us as we were trying to stay as local as possible as my kids still needed to get to school! The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe. 3) Parking was super easy. There is a designated spot in the parking area next to the bungalow and plenty of street parking available as well. 4) Prompt and courteous communication with Kathleen & Kate. Check-in was very easy with a key code. 5) Private laundry room with full sized washer and dryer! I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in the Pasadena area! :-)
