I have to say something about the previous review that referred to Roey as "shady" because he had to pay for a parking pass. First, I have left two good reviews in the past, and I am not one of her "friends" padding the reviews as he suggests. I am a paid guest and never met her before my stay there. I just very much enjoyed the stay and said so.
I lived in Pasadena so already knew this, but all over Pasadena, you cannot park overnight in the street without buying a $3 overnight pass and displaying it. There is nothing "shady" about this, and it is in her write up. It is the guest's responsibility, same as if you were in a hotel you would may (much more!) for parking.
I stayed in the same room as this guest, before he was there and after. There was NO pet hair whatsoever and the room was very clean. She does have a rabbit, who lives and stays on the other end of the house and does not run around the house. Neither Roey or any of her animals ever came into my room, she is very respectful of the privacy of her guests.
The house is one of the older "charming" houses in Pasadena, I suspect built in the 1920s. Pasadena has wonderful neighborhoods of these old houses with, like hers, nice archways, beautiful oak floors, etc. They also tend to have older creaky heating systems and can run too hot or too cold. And contrary to what one might expect, the LA area can be colder than expected in February and even into March. And by "cold" I mean in the 50s or 40s at night. Sometimes you need to put a sweater on in the house. Big dead. Aside from the two blankets on the bed she provided two extra blankets in the closet PLUS an electric blanket, which I have used three times on particularly chilly nights but normally don't need.
Roey is a very considerate host. I have perfume allergies and she has gone out of her way to keep scented candles, etc. away from my room, etc. She knocks herself out. So this last review is very confusing to read, after so recently having been in the same room. I had a VERY different experience, and mine aligns much more to all the other excellent reviews of this house.
