We stayed their rhe night of our wedding. The host TJ upgraded us and brought us martinis when we arrived. The place is beautiful and the view is spectacular. We had a personal breakfast experience with TJ the next morning. We had a lovely time. Also, it was a great value for the price.

Would absolutely return!
We had a delightful time at this estate -- very different from just your cookie cutter hotel stay! TJ was an amazing host -- interesting conversation, yummy snacks and breakfast and just did everything he could to make us feel comfortable. The backyard is gorgeous and was lovely to relax in after we came back from dinner out. The interior of the home is magnificent -- so tastefully decorated with unusual, but beautiful decor.

WOW! The Patrician is the place to be if you want to relax and take in the views. My husband and I highly recommend this wonderful location as a fun getaway. The best part was our host TJ. His hosting skills are on point. He provided the classy finishing touches to our stay at this beautiful home hidden in the hills. Tj keeps the house immaculate and has fresh flowers throughout the house. TJ also made us a delicious breakfast. We enjoyed our breakfast in the kitchen with another couple and TJ. It was a lovely morning.Can't wait to recommend this place to anyone that will listen. Thanks TJ!

Beautiful and unique property with fabulous canyon and downtown pasadena views. That was enough to make us give this place a five star review. But TJ, the host, took it to the next level - he was incredibly generous and personable - if we could, we’d give him a 10 star review. We are already planning a second visit.

TEN PLUS PLUS +!
Wish we could give more than only a 10 Star rating! What a gem of a place overall. The premises were beyond our expectations: beautifully appointed historic home set on an idyllic point above an 180 degree view from the San Gabriel Mountains to the skyscrapers of DTLA. It was a sanctuary retreat where we spent 2 nights chillaxing and more. TJ was the consummate host who pre anticipated all of our desires and was Uber friendly and welcoming. Don’t tell your friends as we want to always have an available room to return to soon!

Finding a treasure in the foothills of Los Angeles
What an amazing find! The location is out of this world. One that movie stars enjoy and one that you will never get tired of. At night you have the entire LA to your feet. Amazing. The hosts are amazing. TJ and his wife Jorie are both so good at making you feel home that after just a few minutes I felt I had known them for decades. The house is delightful, amazing, old and historic all at the same time. The decorations are just the over the top touch. The rooms are delightful, not that you will spend much time in them. Keep in mind two of their rooms are Jack and Jill bathroom shares. Something I personally do not do but if you are traveling with family or good friends that might very much be your option. The two Twins upstairs is what we opted for because of the bathroom being private. The room is small but very cute decorated and therefore certainly a good option. I would call it the tower room. Up the spiral staircase of this historic home, that alone is an adventure worth taking. This house is an old historic home. If you are expecting large generic decorated rooms this is not your place. You are not just meeting amazing hosts but also staying at a historic home with tons of character and history. We are so looking forward to another trip to LA just to be able to stay again with TJ and Jorie. ...oh and be prepared to get a really nice breakfast in the morning and a great conversation over coffee or tea. We did not want to leave. Thank you Jorie and TJ.
