Chris's place is a wonderful value, and is especially great for anyone wanting to be in the North Pasadena-Altadena-La Canada area. The digs are basic, but very functional. The kitchen has everything that one needs to do basic cooking. The 2 bedrooms plus family room provide lots of space for a family to spread out and relax. The internet connection is good. Chris offered us late check-out, and we appreciated that. Having access to laundry facilities and the patio area was helpful. We will return.
