Carina was a decent host and the house/bedroom was clean and in a great location in Pasadena. But the shared bathroom wasn't that clean, the bathtub was dirty so I didn't want to take a shower. Also, the bedroom was really sparse - no night table, mirror, only a bed. It was difficult to get ready for my conference having to go back and forth from the shared bathroom and the bedroom door locking automatically behind me. Parking was a little difficult as well but if you have a really tiny car you'll be ok. I wouldn't stay there again because it didn't feel comfortable with such sparse settings. I wouldn't stay there again.
