Peace and quiet

Guests say this home is in a quiet area.
"May you be lucky like koi." Enjoy a lazy afternoon by the window watching show-quality koi play in the water, and re-energize your spirit with the soothing sounds of nature. If you’re lucky, you’ll witness the tan hua blossoms in the blockbuster movie Crazy Rich Asians. This one-bedroom guesthouse is the perfect retreat for the meditative, romantic, or zen seeker. Great for couples! Located centrally between Pasadena, San Gabriel, San Marino, Arcadia, and Temple City.

The space
Koi pond renovation now completed! (Single travelers can also check out my calligraphy-themed listing that shares this koi pond.)

Living room converts into a charming single with sofa bed. 40" HD Smart Roku TV is on a 180-degree swivel mount so you can watch at the bar table or sofa. Kitchen comes fully equipped for meal prep up to 4. Laundry machines and detergent are available for use. Feel free to enjoy the backyard space too.

We make sure to disinfect all surfaces between stays. We also use white linens so that we can wash and dry them at hot temperatures for extra assurance.

Nightly rates reflect the addition of a 12% Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) collected and remitted to LA County.

Other things to note
Please take note that this is a converted garage space. You can ask me if you have any questions.

Please inquire for parties of 4.

Disclaimer: Tan hua flowers (as seen in the blockbuster movie Crazy Rich Asians) are a rare sight that only bloom overnight several times a year in our garden.
