Joe's place was just as advertised and gave us a perfect base for our explorations of Pasadena and beyond. We found it super easy to find the address, park on site, and check ourselves in. Within the apartment we found additional helpful instructions and area suggestions, and we took advantage of the coin-op washer and dryer behind the building to reset our travel wardrobe after a few days of beach swimming and hiking. There was a bit of low level white noise from the nearby freeway that did not bother us at all and may even have helped us sleep.
