I truly believe Karla's apartment supercedes any hotel we would have stayed in. We had to move our trip to the following day because of the winter storm in New York. Karla was very understanding and accommodating. When we arrived in Pasadena we wanted to go sightseeing in LA as we lost out on a day. Karla offered to stay up till 2am, so we can spend the day and check in later. When we arrived, the apartment was equipped with absolutely everything we needed! Additional items were available for guests like tooth brushes, tooth paste and organic soaps that are kind to the environment. Not only was the apartment super clean, but the bedroom contained an expensive memory foam mattress that gave me the best sleep I have had in months! Karla allows her guests to pick oranges and lemons off the trees in her backyard- this makes an excellent addition of organic orange juice to one's breakfast in morning! This family is extremely accommodating, friendly and they make you feel like family! We couldn't have stayed at a better place! We will be seeing you next year Karla and Larry!! Thank you again!!!!
