Karilyn has a warm welcoming environment that allows you to feel comfortable asking for suggestions or free to roam the area on your own. Her home is close to old town Pasadena as well as the rose bowl. My sister and I were able to Uber to a fantastic concert, experience old town Pasadena and return to a wonderful room with amenities and privacy that made our stay truly enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again on a return visit to the area!
