This is a great location which is close to a lot of things in Pasadena, if that is what you are looking for. It felt relatively quiet. It was not a terribly busy street, and even if it could be a bit busy at times, it was far enough from the street that it did not bother us. It was also very convenient as groceries and several dining/coffee places were within walking distance. Laundry is about 2 miles away, so need to plan ahead for that. I believe the closest laundry place closed at 10 PM, so need to be in there before 9 PM.
Konrad was a great host. He communicated well, responded very quickly, and was very helpful. He offered an early check in when we asked if it was possible to leave our bags earlier. There was a minor thing (not an issue for us) that would have needed a handyman. It was going to take the handyman to come by in about a week. Konrad kept checking back on us to see if it became an issue for us.
The studio was well decorated and clean. Very spacious. Had all the little things we could need, towels, disposable slippers, hangers, phone chargers, iron, etc. Kitchen was ready for us to cook if needed, even had salt/pepper and oil. Forgot if there were more. Coffee maker with coffee was there for us as well. Had a full sized fridge. Really nice and clean bathroom with a great shower area. Room lights controlled by g**gle voice assistant was a nice touch, though could become frustrating at times. That said, setting lighting levels and colors was really great.
The guest-house is behind the main house. There is parking next to the guest-house, which is so convenient. It was not gated but still, being set well away from the street, it felt pretty secure. Plus, no struggling for street parking!
To sum up, great place, and great host. 5/5 would definitely stay here again.
