I am so thankful I could stay at Carmen's during my transition in Pasadena. Everything is as described. It's clean, safe and quiet neighbourhood. Close to the bus stops(but the bus comes every 30 minutes). Also close to Walgreen and great laundromat. Carmen responded in time (Even when I accidentally locked myself out of my room late at night :P. Thank you, Carmen!!). She tried her best to make my stay comfortable. And she really respect the guest's privacy. I would definitely recommend this place to my fiends:)
