Our stay at Weixing's home was nothing short of comfortable and cozy. Although we didn't get to meet the host himself, check-in was easy, and we were able to get settled without a hitch. Both the bedroom and bathroom were spacious and clean. We were also able to obtain a parking permit without too much trouble (note that you might not be able to leave your car there for the entire day due to parking restrictions).
I can't speak much about the location, given that we traveled by car the entire trip, but Old Pasadena is less than 2 miles away, if you're looking to go shopping or grab a bite to eat.
Overall, a great find at a great value, and I'd definitely stay here again!
