My stay at Carmen's place in Pasadena was great. She communicated everything via text prior to my arrival to her place and it was straight to the point. I rented a car to get around the Los Angeles/Orange County area and visited different places such as Disneyland, Hollywood and the City of Los Angeles. I also used Public Transportation and Uber to get around when I didn't drive and it wasn't too bad although Pasadena is about a half-hour to an hour away from Los Angeles depending on what form of transportation you use. When I comeback to Los Angeles, I would love to comeback to Carmen's place again!
