This listing is the absolute perfect place to stay in Pasadena, or if you want to be just close enough to DTLA without having to be in DTLA. Right by Downtown Pasadena with great places like Mi Piace or The Pie Hole, (~5-10 min Uber ~$8) and 30-45 minutes from DTLAs best places like The Broad, République, and Bottega Louie the location can not be beaten. Not more then 10 minutes is the beautiful Huntington Gardens, but you may not want to leave the beautifully designed backyard with saltwater and outdoor fireplace that creates a private oasis. I come to LA more than a few times per year, and this is hands down the best place I have stayed, including some well know LA hotels and is great for couples. The connivance to Colorado in Pasadena or easy access to Burbank Airport (~30 min) or LAX (~45 min), there is no reason to fight traffic to stay in Hollywood or DTLA. The layout is thoughtful, spacious, and well it (Excellent natural light, ample dimmable lighting) and has all the amenities needed. I will stay here again, the hosts Lesley & Ned are very kind people and have a beautiful space that we should be lucky they share!
