Stayed here for the Rose Bowl. Walkable to stadium, .6 miles/25 minutes which made the increased price for that particular weekend worth it. We walked 1.1miles to Old Town Pasadena everyday and for the parade. The apartment is the upstairs of a four apartment building adjacent to the freeway. You can hear cars but it wasn’t horrible as our family all slept fine. There is no cable or satellite tv service. Great host and very clean. Kitchen equipment well stocked.
