I enjoyed staying at Carol’s Airbnb with my spouse. It was a good distance from LA — not too far but not too close either. I wanted a more peaceful stay than right in the middle of the city, and this delivered! Carol was flexible with our check-in (I was an hour later than I anticipated) and she greeted us right when we walked through the gate! She got us our parking passes (day and overnight) promptly. The patio was so nice to sit outside and relax in. The Airbnb itself is in walking distance of several restaurants and shops. We mainly drove into LA, but we did walk to Simplee Bee Boba and La Monarca — both were awesome. Pasadena has a lot of upscale clothing shops a couple miles away from the Airbnb, as well as antique stores, but we didn’t get to explore them. Ran out of time! I would definitely stay again at Carol’s place and explore Pasadena itself.
