Our stay at Carol's wonderful sunny bungalow as first-time AirBnB'ers was an easy 5-star experience. We didn't know what to expect but her warm nature and eagerness to help, coupled with the homely environs of her place - fully stocked and exactly as described - made our 3-day SoCal jaunt that much more enjoyable. We mainly went sightseeing in LA, but also explored Old Pasadena. Go check out the Pasadena City Hall if you're interested in architecture. Carol has a wealth of information about the area so don't be shy to ask. I will surely recommend Carol's bungalow to any of my friends looking for a base to explore LA or the Valleys.
