Larry's place is great. It's on the small side, but it's fantastic value for money. He provides snacks; there's a heater in the bedroom and living room, and extra blankets. His place is close to a Vallarta Supermarket, which was convenient. We had breakfast at Sage (really great vegan place) in Old Town Pasadena, explored, and watched Christmas movies on the couch in the evening. All in all, a very pleasant stay.
