Arroyo Vista Inn

Charming little bed n breakfast in the hills of South Pasadena. Good area with easy access to the metro for a day adventure. There’s parking spaces at the Inn, and the rooms inside are cute, everything feels very homey. My favorite part was the amazing breakfast. We got served fresh fruit, waffles, pancakes, eggs and side of sausage. Plus complementary self served coffee and tea. I would definitely recommend to others wanting to visit LA but still want to feel comfortable and at home.

My apt needed some last-minute emergency repairs and gave me no notice, so we had to quickly find somewhere to stay with our dog. I had just started a new remote job, and needed somewhere mellow to work and this was perfect. I think most rooms have desks and chairs, and they gave us a room with both. My landlord kept pushing the date we could come back to our apt, but the owners were great about letting us extend our stay each time. You would never know this was here from the street. It’s a hidden house on top of a quiet shady hill, with a nice view of the mountains in the distance. I had never stayed at a B&B before so I wasn’t sure if I would have to participate in activities or what, but no one really bothered us and they had wine hour in the evening. If you don’t want to eat at the house, highland park is only about 5 minutes away. We brought pasta back one night and ate it out on the porch during wine hour, but the food they were cooking in the house smelled really good too. The only thing that was a bit annoying was they were doing loud repairs outside a few of the days, but it wasn’t for very long. I would for sure come back!

A beautiful family owned business in South Pasadena. The perfect place to stay if you want to be close to the city but not in the middle of all the chaos. Perks during my stay: easy parking, friendly staff, comfy beds, pretty sunset view, 10 minutes to DTLA, Moby (the cat), breakfast included. Stay over the weekend for waffles and pancakes!! Will stay here again the next time I’m in LA.
