This is only my second stay in an Airbnb. Staying w Bidan was pretty nice!
First I will warn you, we stayed at the beginning of August. It was stifling hot in the room during the day. Don't plan on being there during the day as the air conditioner and two fans are absolutely not enough. The one day I spent there while my partner went to a wedding rehearsal, I stayed by the pool and found it exhaustingly hot in the room, I simply slept. At night....its a lot better. You can open a window and sleep very comfortably. The nights are much cooler. Just plan for the room to be too hot from 11-6. If you go and do during the day, you will never even notice.
Bidan is over the top nice. She worked w us to get us in early and because she didn't have someone else coming, allowed us to leave late .
At night she will ask you to park in the drive way as the city tickets from 2-4 am. She and her husband both have vehicles and there was enough room for all three (we rented a versa hatchback). Also if you provide her w when you are coming and going you will never have to jockey cars at night or in the morning.
The fridge in the room is just a little dorm size so plan appropriately. There was no iron but I asked her and she provided her personal steamer for our wedding gear.
It is extremely quiet! No tv. There is a very large, comfy, clean bed, desk, dorm fridge, dressers, a sitting couch and chair. There is wifi but it was difficult if there was two of us trying to stream at the same time. When I was alone, Netflix and videos were no issue. It was a great base of operation. However, depending on your reason for being there , be prepared and ask her ahead of time. We flew in from Chicago and didn't think ahead of time, just assumed and that was our fault. She fixed it all for us!
We found it expensive to eat out in California. This is not a place for having the idea of shopping and cooking in the room. I would compare it to a hotel room minus the microwave and coffee pot.
Would I stay here again? Yes absolutely but I would take my own advice!
The pool and back yard are over the top awesome. I didn't want to leave it.
Come stay at Bidan's place but just be aware of those few things: summer heat, no microwave, no coffee pot, no iron. If you are looking for quiet, clean, comfortable, hospitality in Pasadena, come stay at Bidan's place
