Location is in quiet residential neighborhood, and location is 1-1.3 miles from Caltech and 1.5 miles from Lake Ave shopping or Colorado Blvd (15 min. walk). However, some upgrades in quality are needed. Yes, it’s only $55/night but there are some common “decencies” that one would expect: a mattress that doesn’t feels like a trampoline, a remote for the TV so that one doesn’t have to awkwardly reach behind it to find the right button for on/off and volume, more than one set of linens, some cleaning service during the month. And have all outlets that work (some were taped over), a modicum of friendliness from the owner’s parents who live in the main house (instead of passive aggressive cleaning around the pool—albeit the pool is the best feature of the Airbnb especially in the hot months).
