This would be beyond a 5-star location if not for the mattress in the bedroom. My boyfriend and I almost checked out early to sleep at home our second night, but we decided that the rest of the house was so worth it that we would stay. For the price, I'd be hard pressed to find anything better in Pasadena and surrounding. The space is adorable and very comfortable, except for the really subpar mattress. Parking is easy, directions were clear and easy to follow. The location is extremely freeway convenient and close to gas and groceries. The first morning we heard the other tenant, just enough to realize someone was on the other side of the wall but not disturbing or annoying at all. The second morning there were 3 other cars in the driveway but I would have had no idea other people were on the property if I hadn't seen the cars. Stay here, but be warned that unless you like a very very firm mattress you might have a bit of a difficult sleep. James is an excellent host!
