We were in Pasadena to visit our son and chose this place because it was convenient. We were delighted to find that it was also spacious, bright, clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked, the rooms were open and airy, the balcony was a plus to relax with some wine at the end of the day. It is also within walking distance of many stores and restaurants and the train/subway is very close if you want to travel into L.A. We highly recommend this place.
