Charming bungalow with eclectic and varied decor and pretty, flowing gardens. Clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced, with a lot of little touches for travelers' convenience, including some things I didn't expect, such as hand-cranked flashlights by each bed (in case of a power outage), a first aid kit, and an electric teakettle. The house is within a mile of downtown Pasadena, which was a great location for us. Ginger was very friendly and responsive to communication both ahead of time and while we stayed there.
The only issue we had that kept the rating from being 5 stars was that we had difficulty with both keys we were initially given (and were thus unable to lock up properly), which meant we had to call for assistance prior to leaving for our conference. Ginger was very responsive to our phone call and came over right away to lock up and give us another set of keys. Then as it turned out, only one key in the replacement sets worked. That was enough for us to be able to lock up. This was a bit frustrating -- and if Ginger had not been home & available, we would have been very late to our conference on Sat.
All of the information provided was accurate ... the only thing I would add is that the driveways on Ginger's street are very long and narrow, and some of them have steep curbs. After accidentally passing Ginger's house at night, I used a neighbor's driveway a few houses down to turn around, and ended up damaging my car by running over a high curb that pulled part of my bumper out. I would encourage other guests to be aware of this and to be careful if they end up having to use a neighbor's driveway to turn around.
Key and car issues aside, we really did enjoy our stay, and I would plan on booking Ginger's place again if I end up in the area.
