This is the first time we have ever left an Airbnb and were happy to depart. Jan was extremely friendly and helpful in all of her communications. We met dear friends, another couple, to spend two days in Pasadena together at the Huntington Library Gardens and Norton Simon Museum (Both were excellent -- highly recommended). Based on the photos posted on Airbnb, we expected to spend evenings relaxing on either the back patio or outdoor sitting area. Both were dirty, the upper sitting area was uninhabitable. The musty cushions on the furniture smelled of cat urine and were dirty; there were lots of cobwebs. The sitting area near the garage required a full cleaning. The area around the garage was littered with all kinds of old, unattractive chairs, ugly plants, miscellanea. We spent an hour one evening at the patio table but the neighbor on one side had a barking dog and a subwoofer, while the neighbor on the other side had a dog that joined in. There was a distinct smell of compost wafting through. The photos of the backyard, upper patio, and lower patio are not representative of what is actually there. The neighborhood in general is sketchy. It is on the edge of a nicer part of town and will benefit from gentrification in five or ten years. The interior of the house was clean but much of the furniture is an odd assemblage of thrift store items. The sofas are old. The reclining chair came from a larger sectional sofa, so is missing one of its arms. The bottom line is that the small bungalow presents an odd fit vs a comfy living room space. Our worst criticism is that the home is listed as pet-free. My wife has severe pet allergies and she reacted badly with itchy eyes and scratchy throat. When we looked about we found a box with "My dog's blanket." written on it. If the home does indeed have pets, it should be clearly communicated for this reason. I am writing this review specifically for the benefit of future guests who might be more discerning as we chose this little house due to its high ratings.
