We were pleasantly surprised at how quiet and clean the apartment was, when the windows are closed you don't hear a thing. The apartment is fit out minimally with all one really needs for a week's stay. As far as Airbnb's go it's pretty basic so you'll have to shop for whatever you need if planning to do any cooking, we were okay with this and bought what we needed. There's a small balcony which overlooks a water feature which you can hear when the doors are open and you're facing another apartment building which didn't bother us as we were either working when there or out and about. The location's great and a 15-20 minute walk to most restaurants and places of interest. We didn't have a car but taking Uber or Lyft was extremely convenient when we were too lazy to walk. The wifi is great and host was easy to correspond with. It isn't a homey or warm feeling apt being more modern but we'd definitely stay again if in Pasadena.
