Our son works and lives in downtown LA and we have always stayed in Beverly Hills when we visit him. But everything in LA was booked because of an international Microsoft convention and because the newlywed royal couple was in town. So, we got on the internet and found Bissell House. What a find. Lovely old home, great breakfasts, nice pool in the back, and all of that capped off with wonderful hospitality. The place was spotlessly clean with whimsical little pieces everywhere. South Pasadena is a great little town and Pasadena itself is even better. Cultural and epicurian center of the universe! We shall continue to use this find as our center of operations for a long time to come.

Nice, old, elegant home - wonderful place for a B&B! Great breakfasts, comfortable bed, tea & snacks in the afternoon, pool & patio area. So much better than staying in a hotel!

Bissell House - where do I start... We had the nicest stay at Bissell. The room was devine, so clean and neat and the house it self was just as beautiful. The staff are amazing. It's positioned in a lovely area, Pasadena is so beautiful and really easy to get to everything. We walked into Old Town Pasadena and got to see the neighbour, it took about 40 minutes, we had a beautiful lunch and walked back. The home has a pool that you can use and wifi is included as well. Also breakfast was included each morning, which is great. I highly recommend this property and would stay again on our next trip to LA. Thank you Janet, Carrie & Ron you are beautiful people and thank you making our stay lovely. Carla & Steve - Melbourne, Australia

We stayed at the Bissell House as our base in LA for 3 nights. The house is a beautiful, elegant old Bed and Breakfast, but perfectly presented. The owners were so friendly and accommodating, and made us and the children (10 and 7 year old boys) feel completely at home . A lovely garden and pool area was a welcome treat in the LA sunshine. Afternoon snacks (yummy cake!), and wine were provided each afternoon with the owners' compliments - a really nice touch. The full breakfasts each morning were delicious thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend the Bissell House to anyone traveling to LA.
