Sandra was a very wonderful host. She was communicative both before and during our trip. She even wrote us in advance to find out our breakfast preference so that she could cater a continental breakfast to our tastes. And we absolutely loved her dog Sadie, who was an a complete sweetheart. Her place is well-located in Pasadena, close to the Old Town, groceries and shopping locations, and we really appreciated having private parking behind her house too.
