The lovely parts of staying here included picking fruit from the trees in the backyard, seeing wild parrots, and sitting on the front porch swing. Karilyn made us feel at home. Multiple guests were staying in the house; but it was spacious enough that it was not crowded, it was a nice environment. The neighbors and neighborhood are friendly. It is a quick ride into Old Town Pasadena which is worth checking out. The host has everything you need and wasn’t bothersome at all. She kept her distance unless we needed something, in which case she was very quick to respond, for example she gave us a space heater on our first night and was super chill giving us a flexible check-out time. However, there was a lot of noise coming from the room directly upstairs from this one that began early in the morning, like 5 AM. Not sure if it was another guest or someone else. The pillows were also EXTREMELY hard and uncomfortable. Overall, if the idea of a free breakfast assortment and a quiet and beautiful neighborhood appeals to you, you would like this place.
